Are you an American? If so, you tend to have the typical American superiority-attitude with how other countries should be treating you.
Compared to an American getting a Chinese visa, it is many t ...
We have nearly 30 million illegals in the USA, possibly why we implement a stronger Visa process. btw, I see plenty of Chinese living in the USA and
some are illegal as well. I would guess the USA doesn't want to be overrun with poverty. I don't believe anyone is going to China looking for a hand
out because they will not get one, but on the other hand the USA will offer free health care to anyone regardless of their legal status. Even more
so, if you are illegal and have offspring the parents will then be able to obtain free health benefits, housing and food. Also many people who visit the
USA from aboard decide they want to stay and contribute to an increase in illegal immigration. As long as illegals stay out of trouble, most are not
bothered but the ones that decide to sell drugs, commit harsh crimes and so on are going to be sought. I believe if a USA citizen were do try and
commit such crimes in other countries they would be imprisoned for life or executed. Overall, we have the policies in place for good reason.
In conclusion, most people who visit the USA from aboard from 3rd world countries or overcrowded countries would love the opportunity to live
and work in the USA, on the other hand there is not a lot of interested in USA citizens fleeing to other countries. So this is my best scenario on
why it's harder for some countries to obtain a visa while visiting the USA. I can concur that Europe and Canada do not have as many issues other
then 911 protocol which even USA citizens are treated like criminals at domestic airports.
