The expansion, which will take effect by Sept. 30, means only diplomats and
travelers from Mexico and Canada will not be fingerprinted and photographed
when they enter the United States

Don't these countries make up the majority of people entering the US?

So the message is visiting the USA is more trouble than its worth so I'll go
some place else.

Yeah, that two minute fingerprinting and photo is *sooo* hard after a
six-hour plane flight...

....and even with that, it's still going to be faster than most customs
checks in 99% of the countries in the world.

That's not true. US immigration queues are amongst the longest in the world.

From the number of people, or from the speed of the process?

And the funny thing is, the people who are complaining about the US
wanting photos and fingerprints to come in are often from countries that
already insist on that for their own citizens (like Brazil).

No they are not! They are from Europe and from your "ally" the UK, where
fingerprints denote one's being a suspected criminal.

You know this as a fact, do you?

Please note that we all have the rest of the world to visit. Why visit a
country which treats us as criminals?

On the other hand, you could always visit Spain, and relax on their
nice, safe, high-speed trains. Or the ones in France.

Indeed, I would prefer to do that, although we, in fact, always travel by
car.
