Help! My tourist extension visa was denied today

I would consider 11.7+ million times to be fairly frequent.

Also, 'according to the data provided by ICE to Rep. Gonzales, over 435,719 convicted criminal immigrants were on ICE's non-detained docket.' 13,099 of them are convicted murderers. Those are just the ones they know of, the ones they actually have a file on.

I saw that! The number is probably even higher. But it seems like the government wants all these illegals now. Strange. It was not like this before. I have many friends in America. They tell me it has never been so bad like now.

What happens is that many foreigners, especially Americans, know that the process in Argentina is quite flexible, and they tend to relax too much. I wish the laws and procedures here were a bit more rigorous. Currently, anyone can easily enter and exit the country, and sometimes they stay for extended periods illegally. This is a significant difference from the U.S., where the visa application process is much stricter.

In Argentina, the process for obtaining a visa, especially a tourist visa, can be less rigorous, as it generally requires basic documentation. On the other hand, the U.S. demands extensive documentation, including interviews and background checks, which results in longer processing times. This contrast highlights how the flexibility in Argentina can lead to situations where many people enter and remain without proper oversight, something that does not happen as frequently in the United States.

Just look at these statistics:

I don't think that 2% rejection rate for Argentina is accurate. I have met many Argentines that weren't accepted. That for Colombia and Venezuela is brutal but probably doesn't account for all the illegals they are letting in from Venezuela in the past year. Many are just walking over the border.
