I don't understand why we would want to restrict legitimate business travel. Thank you for some perspective. I have questions now. How do you indirectly pay $100k-$500k for the privilege of an E-visa? What are the ostensibly direct purposes for spending those funds? Would you make the same expenditures if you couldn't travel to the US?
