Hi Howard,<br>

<div>Since when is "everyone" being kept out? I see countless
foreign tourists here in NYC every day. Sure, we'd like to see more
come and visit. The only country that has retaliated so far, in my
personal experience, has been Brazil which imposed a $100 visa fee for
American visitors. I did not have to be fingerprinted. If we defeat
Bush we will rid ourselves of John Ashcroft as AG; that should make
things easier for people wishing to enter the US with less hassle. </div>
<div>So all you folks in the US who complain about restrictive US
immigration practices should vote for Kerry despite his flaws. As a
further incentive to vote for Kerry, think about his potentional
Supreme Court appointments. Remember that Bush senior appointed the
ultra-conservative ignoramus Clarence Thomas to our highest court, a
total disgrace. I apologize in advance to those who don't like to see
political views here, but I think, in context, I am on-topic. Howard
