Wasn’t Biden removing more illegal immigrants already?
It doesn’t matter when they can come right back in. It’s pointless unless the borders are secured.
Wasn’t there a bipartisan effort during the Biden administration that some Republicans said was the strongest border legislation they had ever seen, and because Donald Trump needed to win the election, he shot it down?

You have no idea what the numbers Trump and co told you aren’t extreme. Look up the numbers from GWB for example. The problem is you don’t look this stuff up and have poor critical thinking skills.
You mentioned you will be flying on hikes; just a reminder—drones are NOT allowed in any of the national parks! State parks are usually fine with it, just check the rules for where you will be flying! And please don’t do anything dumb I love my parks…
The political situation over there… . Just visit this page, read it and then take the TRUST test: FAA Recreational Flyers Knowledge Test Updates. I’m a US Citizen visiting the UK and EU. I took the CAA test, paid for a certificate, and have an EASA certificate. I feel much better about flying while here on vacation with these certs in my wallet and my ID sticker on my drone .
Under 250g you don’t have to do anything registration-wise (assuming you are not getting paid for flying). The app will tell you where you can’t fly. Mostly it’s just airports.
The OP asked for help regarding the regulations. All of you who turned this into a political rant should be ashamed. If you can’t post useful information, just leave.
Here is the right apolitical advice: 1) Get a TRUST certificate—easy, common sense! TRUST Certificate. You’ll get an FAA #; sticker it on your drone when flying in the US. 3) Use the ‘Air Control’ app to make sure you are clear to fly. 4) Be legal and have fun. If you’re clear—this is totally possible internationally.
Get one of the official apps. I also registered somewhere so I had a US version of the operator ID, IIRC. The rules are strict about flying over people, even with sub 250g drones. I couldn’t fly in national parks as much as I’d have liked. I have a Mavic Mini 3 Pro and flew it maybe 6-10 times in 16 days total.
Drones can be problematic; a lot of public parks don’t allow them, and homeowners might get angry. Don’t fly over people or cars. Be ready to respond to anyone who might confront you. Avoid flying near airports, military bases, or other sensitive infrastructures. Also, don’t fly at night.
