The US Passport is Getting Worse

I agree 100% with this video. I'm Canadian but I grew up in the USA in Miami and did all my studies in the US. When my mother got sick with Cancer in Miami, she decided to go back to Canada for treatments because of socialized medicine. So I decided to go back to Canada to be with my Mom. But I still had to go back to the US to conduct my businesses. And each time I would cross the border the freaking US border administration would make my life soooo miserable that after being detained for 8 hours on several occasions and interrogated for hours for being a dual citizen and traveling back and forth and missing my flights and having to book last minutes flights again and having to stay in a hotel for an extra night and all these expenses that they forced me to incur and the waste of time they caused me and delays to my meetings and attending to my business, I've decided to burn it and forfeited my papers and citizenship. It's wasn't worth the trouble. These people have absolutely zero respect for the years of contribution I had given to their country. I have never set foot in the US ever again. Oh and moreover, because at the time I had forfeited my status, they banned me from entry into the US even if it was to catch a flight to go elsewhere in the world. So screw them. I hate the US . I'll never go back ever again.

I travel often, mostly international trips. I use Mexican and US passports. The Mexican passport has become the most hassle-free one to use. I've applied for a Panamanian one, too.

Brazil operates its visa policy based on diplomacy. It's VERY difficult for Brazilians to even VISIT the U.S., why should Brazil allow American tourists to easily visit Brazil? I'm Brazilian and 2 years ago some of my family members applied for a tourist visa because they wanted to vacation at DisneyWorld in Florida. They paid a non-refundable amount of 300 US$ (very expensive to Brazilian standards), showed proof that they're not planning to overstay their visa and spent hours in line at the consulate just to be denied entry and be treated badly by the staff.

As a 23 year old American, I'm grateful that I am of age where I can actually make use of this information and leave this country within a calendar year. It's a shame that those younger than me will be forced to stay here as the Titanic sinks. I've never perceived this country as being on the incline in my entire lifetime

Most of the US government's unfortunate interactions with other nations, especially over the last 30-40 years, has been driven by a desire to defend the world reserve currency status of the dollar, all the while destroying it through irresponsible economic, social and political policies. There is no need for a world reserve currency. If you looked at nearly every American's balance sheet, you would realize that having the reserve currency has made them poorer, not richer.

After the debate last night

It’s only hard to move to the USA legally.

Just got my Cape Verdean passport as a backup 🤞🏾 appreciate the advice!

That kermit voice was fire

Sounds like it's easier to sneak into America and travel there legally.

Egypt got fed up with Canada and now charges 150.00 for a visa available only at the embassy in ottawa. Even egyptian citizens have to get a visa to visit their native land. It was done because Egyptians were being denied visitor visas to Canada..including grandparents etc coming to visit grandkids. No visa on arrival for Canadians in Cairo either.

Global perception matters. This is something that our western leaders need to understand. What they do impact citizens when we attempt to travel.

Namibia is introducing visa requirements for 31 non-reciprocating countries, which include the U.S.

As most people miss, its not about how little taxes, its about the 'energy' of a place - the vibe

USA should be more open to educated people, that's what they aren't doing.

I miss the golden old days of 2019 when most of those who followed you and actively participated in the conversation were people who are actually nomad capitalists. Rather than the ones who question “How am I making money being Argentinian” 😂 I am in the process of getting Argentinian Passport, and I’ve been obtaining multiple other residencies and passports since 2021, and my income has been rising in the past few years with business, despite not living in the US anymore. It’s funny how there are still people whose small 9-5 minds are so fixated to the job seeker mindset of “I can only make good money in America”, whose minds are so limited to the point to naively believe someone’s income is linked to their nationality only. It’s 2024, lots of money is made on the internet, cross borders, etc. As long as the citizenship is not from a heavily sanctioned country, there’re plenty of ways to make money regardless of citizenship. These naysayers worrying about job prospects should just go watch their American centric doomer negative videos about how job market is too hard now. Love your content as usual. Hope to encounter you here in Kuala Lumpur. 😁

Getting a USA B1/B2 visa is almost like a lottery, and you often get rejected for the same reason. They say you don't have enough ties to Brazil to qualify for this visa. For example, I work remotely for a tech software company in the USA and earn around $5,000 a month. However, since my wife and I are under 25 years old and didn't come from a wealthy family, we got rejected. Honestly, I have a secure job here, so how could they think we would immigrate illegally in such a scenario? I still want to go to the USA, but having only five cities in Brazil where you can apply for a visa and going through all of this makes me feel like I'm begging and humiliating myself to get a USA visa. Next year, we'll try to go to Canada. If that doesn't work, I guess that's it. The USA embassy treats South American people like inferior human beings. If none of this works, I'll travel to alternative countries, and they'll be the ones missing out on my money.

Worse! America passport use to big welcome smile everywhere contrast now with suspicious expression or unpleasant face in many places. Occasionally with questions such as what's your nature of business into iur country or ...got to remind you no political activity while you're here or will be jail etc. 😭

If you land at LAX from an International flight. When you go through US Customs. Their will be up to 6 long lines of people only holding American Passports. You will probably be one of the few that speaks English.
