We really know how to make visitors coming to the U.S. feel welcome, these days. What other country fingerprints all visitors arriving at our airports? Now it appears that everyone planning a trip to our country will have to electronically apply for approval as part of the Visa Waiver Program. Boy, if Americans had to go through crap like that to get into foreign countries, you could imagine how many would be screaming their heads off.
Hell, how many nations demand their own citizens fill out a friggin' questionnaire just to get back into their own country? Like it's anybody's business but my own where I've been and what meaningless merchandise I'm bringing back.

I absolutely love some of the questions they are now asking foreigners. Here are a couple of real beauties, right off the stupid site:

B) Have you ever been arrested or convicted for an offense or crime involving moral turpitude or a violation related to a controlled substance; or have been arrested or convicted for two or more offenses for which the aggregate sentence to confinement was five years or more; or have been a controlled substance trafficker; or are you seeking entry to engage in criminal or immoral activities? *

C) Have you ever been or are you now involved in espionage or sabotage; or in terrorist activities; or genocide; or between 1933 and 1945 were you involved , in any way, in persecutions associated with Nazi Germany or its allies? *

Yeah, that's going to be seriously effective at keeping the criminal element out of the US. If anyone answers yes to either question, they should be allowed right in. Anybody stupid enough to announce their intentions is not going to be a very successful terrorist, that's for sure.

Of course, it's quite possible we might just nab a few 95 year old former SS officers. If they're senile enough, who knows.

You just can't make this stuff up, folks.
