Entry fee when holidaying in the US
he Department of Homeland Security announced Friday that it will begin collecting fees on travellers from Visa Waiver countries beginning Sept. 8, 2010. Travellers will be charged a $14 fee when applying for an Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA).
A portion of the fee will go toward funding the Corporation for Travel Promotion, created by the 2009 Travel Promotion Act.

PS
Europeans don't let the US treat you like a criminal at migration first and then pay for their travel promotion!
Collecting an entry fee is truly a non-promotional tool!

I think they should charge double for people who complain.
We are going to Turkey in October and they have a $20, exact fare, entrance fee. Cleverly, I will have the money in hand.
The airport is on the European side.

This topic has been mentioned and discussed at least a couple of times. Not invented here.
By your own admission you don't visit the US so why do you bother to bring it up? Spreading a little more of your anti US vitriol?

In Mexico you have to pay a fee to exit. On the spot cash. I was ready to return to the US so I turned to my DH and said, "It's on me" as I had saved cash to make sure we had no problems exiting.
If however you like to rag on the US you 'd likely be able to find something more substantial. Keep looking - I have faith in you....
