Maybe organize an additional DrupalUS for those who don't want to leave the US.

But instead you chose to tell some people just not to come - and you phrased it like it would be their choice and their fault for being too sensitive, for "feeling unsafe"

Some of our community cannot be sure if their passport is accepted at the border, some of us would need to weigh a possible detention by ICE against the wish to attend a large and important conference.

Maybe there is indeed no hotel that fits your specific ideas, but you could also think out of the box. Maybe rent a conference center in Canada for a proper DrupalCon, and let participants book their own accommodation, instead of booking a whole hotel.

We are indeed disappointed -maybe less about the location itself- but about the fact that you actively choose a location that excludes part of our community. That you choose "business as usual", and topped it with some victim blaming. That you tell people not to come if they don't "feel safe" - as if there were no real problems when crossing the US border.
