Aren't there about 100,000 illegal Koreans in every country in the world?

Last week it was Guatemala, we all know all western English speaking country has that probolem. Also anywhere that has a big sex tourism indistry.

Kick all illegal Mexicans out and let the Koreans in. I don't know why its so hard for Koreans to visit the US for a few months either. Aren't we supposed to be allies? I know they aren't perfect, but taken strictly as an ethnicity rather than as individuals, they're better than most groups. I know its scary that they might bring some more rub and tugs in and some prostitutes, but I think American just might need that.

The OP is one of the most misinformed posts; misinformed is a euphemism for ignorant, by the way.

There is no "no visa policy" in the U. S. for anyone except members of Hamas. The U. S. provides visas for the overwhelming majority of Koreans that apply for them. The U. S. is in no way "off-limits" for Korean citizens.

Where does this post come from? Is the OP just some anti-foreign Korean poster?

The rejection rate is the key item on determining if a particular country will qualify for the "no visa" program. And, no, the rejection rate is not based on "everyone knows it's because Koreans are prostitutes in the US." That assertion is beyond ignorant--it's pure bigotry. One of the factors for determining if a particular individual qualifies for a tourist visa is that person's economic ties to his current country of residence.

I met a Korean guy who told me he had just "returned" from the USA (i.e. been deported). He had lived there for 16 years on a student visa. So it's not just the prostitution causing U.S. immigration officials to be a little more particular in their scrutiny of Korean visa applications.

I've had a few people I know shafted by the US VISA system.

#1. My sister's childhood friend was came to visit the US. It just so happened that my sister owned her own business. Well, at the airport in Washington DC, customs asked the friend some details about my sister. She told them my sister moved to the US at a young age, graduated college, and now has her own business. Right then they told her she can't come into the US. They assumed that the friend was going to the US to work illegally for my sister. The friend had to turn around and catch the next flight back to Korea.

#2. One of my childhood friends was coming to the US. She's never been and probably won't get a chance to come back for a while so she wanted to hit all the cities that she could before going back to Korea. They asked her where she planned to go and she said "Los Angeles, New York, Washington DC, and Chicago." They said she was traveling too much on 1 trip and they shortened her stay to just 30 days instead of the original 2 months.


I don't think the US should open up their VISA policy, I just think they should relax it a little. Its so strict that people have to lie or withhold as much information as possible for fear of getting rejected.

US immigration is farked all over the place. Decent, honest Koreans get rejected everyday while US troops are stationed here and US tourists don't need a visa for 30 days in Korea.
