Finally, I’ll be able to drive across the border with my wife without having to waste hundreds of dollars to get her a visa.

I think “here” means the Marmot’s Hole, a blog focused on matters Korean.

Weird comment.

Pawi, under an American flag said:

“well, you touched something in korea, that’s why you’re here.”

He is using the word “here” to mean Korea which for him should be “there” as he is in America. All the while, my little flag clearly shows Singapore. In which case, his twin possible uses of “here” are neither here nor there?

Deadly confusing.

After I embezzle enough money and/or become wildly successful practicing law, that’s where I’m headed. Brasiiiiiiil~! Or do they have an extradition treaty now?

I’m really not worried about what damage might be done by illegal aliens from Korea; I think the danger is virtually nill beyond the financial strings attached to draft-doggee babies. However, as Richardson alluded to, at a time when more stringent rules need to be in place for any and all sojourners from abroad this is the wrong direction to take. The cost of effectively monitoring the enormously dynamic flood of incoming and “sometimes” outgoing aliens far exceeds the benefit lost from not having as many profitable aliens. And we’re not even any where near the “effective” stage yet. I’d rather see a 6 month moratorium on immigration, with the only exception of refugee applicants, followed by gradual resumption of immigration privileges based upon bilateral agreements with nations for a verifiable identification system. Nor would it be a bad idea for Korea to implement a similar system. Start it now before the number of aliens gets to an unmanageable level.

Pawi,

Nahh, my girl is from Brazil. You jealous?

From her I get no tantrums, she knows how to walk in heels and has a discernible hairline. I’d never touch a Korean woman. ohhhhhwaaa opppaaaa waaaaa. Ugh. Yuck.

Anyhow, I’m right. There will be a dramatic increase in Koreans going to America to hook and Rich is right that they will just fly to America to have kids. This is a very bad idea.

Koreans just aren’t ready for this. Give it a hundred years or so.

#9, Can’t agree. Those union thugs just need to beat down by the police - the problem is Korean overtolerance.

Currently 3 percent or less of visa applicants need to be able to meet the requirements for receiving visas for a nation to be eligible to receive the visa waiver

Actually it’s 97%; no more than 3% can fail to satisfy the requirements. But otherwise right on the mark.
