Britons travelling to the US could be detained and sent home by immigration officials if they do not register online before their trip.

I cannot believe how paranoid the US has becomes.

Nothing new, we've had to have visas for the US for a long time now.

Really, thought the Brits would get preferential treatment since they’ve done so many favours for them – it’s unfair. Australia and New Zealand and even Japan are currently exempt from visa requirements to enter the United States

I thought the UK citizens are covered under the Visa Waiver Program, they can stay for 90 days or less without obtaining a visa

Currently, 35 countries participate in the Visa Waiver Program, as shown below:

Andorra Iceland Norway
Australia Ireland Portugal
Austria Italy San Marino
Belgium Japan Singapore
Brunei Latvia Slovakia
Czech Republic Liechtenstein Slovenia
Denmark Lithuania South Korea
Estonia Luxembourg Spain
Finland Malta Sweden
France Monaco Switzerland
Germany the Netherlands United Kingdom
Hungary New Zealand

But we are all fornicating infidels who participate in the demons of drink and sex and drugs and rock and roll...we must be banned, you hear, BANNED and executed and then killed and then cut into little pieces and have MB dance around on our graves singing 'I did it My Way!'

Hahahahahahaha!

Pre authorization to enter the US is now required for nationals of all the Visa Waiver Program countries, not just the UK. It can be done online.
