The Trump administration has added seven countries, including five in Africa, to the list of nations whose passport holders are required to post bonds of up to $15,000 to apply for visas to enter the United States.
Look, if the minimum wage is half a dollar, I doubt the doctors are making 100k a year. I don’t consider us a great country, but it’s easier to immigrate here than Luxembourg which is my point. It’s not the best but it’s easily better than half the world, and the best places have stricter requirements that make it impossible for most. Mind you, even immigrating here was hard before trump, just easier than better places.
It just seems hollow to tell people to stay home and find somewhere better, when their choice are between here and Iran for example.
I also don’t think it’s fair, the current state of the world is a direct consequence of the colonial and imperialistic mindset. You still have to be realistic and honest about it.
This link makes the point that minimum wage is low across a lot of the world.
It also seems to show that the US wouldn’t be in the “great” grouping of that list, it would be the next tier down, wouldn’t it?
