Why is it so hard for me, someone who qualifies for the O1 Visa, to get into the US, but so easy for illegal immigrants to cross the border and get in?
I've just been drilled about every little thing I can do, own and will do and everything hangs by a thin thread. But for some reason, if I just hiked my ass across Panama and Mexico, I could just.. get in?!
First answer:
It's because you qualify for an O1 Visa and may actually help the country.
They apparently don't want that right now. You might not be 'cheap labor.'
Everything the Biden Admin is doing right now essentially devalues labor.
Once they devalue labor, they have more control because people have fewer options.
They don't want people who are 'helpful' except to pursue goals of lowering labor costs.
Perhaps if you send a letter directly to the president saying, "I want to come here to screw over the current Americans and make sure they're controllable, miserable little serfs with no hope for the future" then you might have a chance.
But even so, having watched what's happening in the country, are you so sure you won't just be treated like we're being treated now after you eventually overstay your welcome?
Not trying to dissuade you from the attempt, but you are watching this shit show, too, right?
Second answer:
If you tried to do the old "hitchhike from Panama" you may find out much more than you bargained for upon hearing the punchline of the joke currently being played on the US.
