> America colonized a lot of the world's dreams, but that doesn't obligate America to help you live them.

I never said that. And I also don't have any intentions whatsoever to relocate to the US to live the "American dream" or any other dream. I'm pretty fine where I am. Except that the visa situation is a nightmare and my circumstances are not so simple that I could just decide to cancel my, say, summer vacation in the US. Heck, even if you're just transiting in the US, without leaving the international terminal, and not even planning on entering the country, you already need a visa.

The only thing I'm asking for is that I be treated as a human being, with the same inalienable human rights (at least on paper) as everywhere else in the western world.
