doesnt matter if someone can't fork up the $250 in the first place
Arguably, if they can’t fork up $250, they shouldn’t be vacationing to a foreign country. Plenty of other countries do this though. You’re just an uneducated American who doesn’t go anywhere.
I am not an american despite my username.
And this $250 is going to be above an already expensive and painful visa process. And there are countries which are visa-less for certain country passports. I can bet that a tourist visa for the U.S is going to be among the top of the ranks of most expensive visas with the introduction of this "Visa-integrity" fee.
I could go to dozens of countries without having to get a visa, and plenty of other countries have visa which is actually worth the money than the dictator wannabes.
So no, If people can't fork up $250 it doesn't mean they shouldn't be vacationing in foreign countries. That's just you being ignorant while accusing me of being uneducated and American.
Eskimo is pretty racist btw. Please stay out of my country. We don’t need any more racists. we have plenty.
you're coming off as being desperate to get offended here. I didn't give any thought to this username and I didn't realize it is apparently racist until our interaction. I just mixed two words for a username that weren't obviously bad.
