I mean, yea, basically. Why shouldn't it be that way? Probably a majority of the people of the world would prefer to live in the US/Canada/EU if given a choice.

I mean, yea, basically. Why shouldn't it be that way? Probably a majority of the people of the world would prefer to live in the US/Canada/EU if given a choice. So it makes sense to assume they plan on staying and make them explain why they'd willingly return to an "inferior" country.
But maybe some sort of bond procedure would be handy for this kind of thing where you really want someone to visit and are willing to stake a lot that they'll return. OTOH I'm sure if Apple wanted to get involved they could easily help him out on his application.
- izacus 9y agoBecause you don't want to live in a world where everyone behaves like that (towards you too). I thought we learned that lesson in the cold war. It's easy to debate from your position of power, but remember that it's easy that you can easily be the one rotting in an slump UK/EU/African or even your own bureaucracy. All the kid wanted to do is visit a tech conference. Why on earth are you defending the shitty process that tried to prevent that?

People from some backwater developing countries maybe...
- MichaelGG 9y agoOK, what's your estimate on how many billion people would prefer to live in EU/US/Canada? What if they could bring their whole family with them?
