The reasons for the wavering and implementing of the visa waiver program are well known by the powers to be in the U.S. government: a high number of koreans will not be returning to korean and will remain illegally in the U.S.
It is very easy to start the program and should not be taking the years to it has been taking to implement it�but�koreans are there own worst enemy in this case.
Let me ask you this�..
Would you want to spend the rest of your life in korea knowing there is a less stressful place elsewhere?

I was wondering EXACTLY that. Korea ain't some poor country. I got really curious and asked my gf why they would want to be prostitutes there (no idea why I thought she'd know lol). She figured just to live in the U.S and it's lifestyle...gotta be more to it than that though right?

Hell I dunno though, after living here 20 plus years I might be willing to sell a piece of my ass to get out too!

The major reason why Korea is not part of the visa waiver program already is the visa rejection rate. It should be that less than 3% of the people who apply for a visa to get into the US be rejected. This shows that there's not going to be a huge influx of desperate people if the US relaxes visa regulations.

Apparently Korea's rejection rate is somewhere around 6%.

3.5% according to the article.

also, wonder why this was moved to off topic. i'd say it's related to living in korea considering just a couple of months ago, a lot of my students were practically bragging that Korea was soon to be on the vwp

[whatever]

I wish the US would make it absolutely hard as hell for any Korean to step one foot in the country. Where the *beep* are your transcripts? I lost the first three...

In my letters, I did mention the high rate of women coming to the US as prostitutes (go to the ICE homepage and read the article on it about the sting operation regarding the Korean prostitution ring that netted not only the prostitutes themselves, but some of the brokers) but I did mention the ill treatment foreigners get in Korea and constant discrimination that foreigners face either while looking for work or just living there.

I got a group of veterans together (most of whom had served in Korea) and some teachers that returned from working in Korea and told them about my proposal, which was welcomed with open arms. From August, 2006 to October of this year, we compiled alot of sources, ranging from articles in the news (not just Korean news sources, but also what we found in western sources as well) to messages from this website (Thanx Dave ), added them as references for our letters. We mail them to other members of the group to sign (a petition-type of signatories) and then they were all sent to a member who would send them off to their respective recipients.

In the meantime, me and several other members would meet up with people like Joe Liebermen, Joe Biden, Rosa Delauro, Joseph Hyden, and Charlie Rangel just to name a few. We would meet with them (they were always very cordial when speaking to veteran voters ) and gave them copies of the letters we sent to their offices. Many times they would say things like "They are treating Americans like that over there?...." and I would usually give them the affirmative "Yes, Sir/ Ma'am" or they would give a grimmacing look before knodding their head. One official (not going to mention his name) even said that he thought the Koreans were a "thorn in his side" because of his encounters with Korean officials and pro-Korean lobbyists and was looking for an excuse to give a "no" vote in congress.

One friend of mine who had returned from Iraq and received a Bronze Star, even took a letter with him to show the congressional reps that were there for the ceremony.....

My point: Korea~ Never cut off the hand that helps you. Because sooner or later your actions will come back to haunt you.......

quote] Why does Korea produce so many prostitutes? quote]


Why? Because they are good at what they do! The best in the world I hear.
It�s not a bad thing.
Look at all the high falutin� yahoos, politicians, cops, doctors, teachers and on and on, who go to church on Sundays and condemn hookers and then visit them the same night!
It, prostitution, will never go away. It�s here to stay. And why? Many reasons, but many married men visit them also. Wife not satisfying him? Does not turn him on? Lost interest in her? Does not or won�t do the deed? No technique?

I heard USA wants to get the % of illegal Koreans in USA down to some number. I can not remember the numbers quoted, but they were quite high.
