| We're still not doing background investigations on visa applicants |
| 2008-04-03 |
| It's bizarre that in this post-2001 Sep. 11 time, we're still not conducting nor charging for proper background investigations of visa applicants. Such investigations can run over $35K in the USA, and much more to investigate those over-seas. If we're charging less than that for a visa, then Milton Friedman was certainly correct when he said in 2002 that these visas are a huge subsidy to executives. |

| #2 Or they could let in everybody, hope they vote Democrat and blame George Bush's "oil war" for any future bad behavior. |

| #1 Background checks are easy. If you come from an Islamic nation the answer is no, no visa, no way, when the war is over we'll think about it. If you come from a non-Islamic country but have an Islamic clothes or name, same story. That should make it easier to investigate the other applicants. |
