Yeah, don’t. Not right now.
Hello!
As an American I would strongly recommend against visiting here from Mexico especially if you have never done so before. I have no deep knowledge of the visa system so I can’t help with specifics.
Here is an article about recent detentions of legitimate visa holders.

I read through your post history and I don’t think you are trolling. You apparently represent almost everything being villainized here in the US. A gay Mexican furry is not someone I would recommend interacts with American law enforcement.
As part of entering the US law enforcement will demand to see your social media. They will search your electronics. They will look into your background. American law enforcement and especially our border officers will almost certainly not be friendly to someone like you. If you feel safe visiting the US right now being who you are then you shouldn’t trust your own judgement on this. Talk to you friends about this. Talk to anyone who is telling you it is a bad idea and really listen to them.
Personally I also have concerns about your reason for travel. I can’t believe someone who loves you would encourage this travel. I can’t believe someone living in the US right now would tell you it’s a good place. There are many wonderful, amazing things about the US. There are also terrible things and right now at this moment those bad things are far more important.
I don’t know this person you want to visit. I don’t know you. I’m just a random person on the internet. However, reading some of your posts I would urge caution in this sort of distant relationship. How are your feelings clouding your judgement? Please talk to your friends and if available supportive family about this whole situation. Do not dismiss their concerns if they have any.
Tell him to come visit you or pick a foreign convention to attend together. If he isn’t willing to do that for you then you should be considering what you mean to him.
Please be safe.
thank you very much for the advice, he wants to visit me but he has to find a job and stuff. and now that i think of it, perhaps visiting the usa right now is strict… i’m safe right here in where i live and i live ok and i don’t want to get deported or have problems with american officers!!
Nice try, Mr Farage.
