Quite literally any country with a government worth talking about controls entry of foreign nationals. It is a privilege to enter another country as a foreigner

Quite literally any country with a government worth talking about controls entry of foreign nationals. It is a privilege to enter another country as a foreigner, and that country has every sovereign right to deny you that privilege if they so choose for any reason (usually citing their laws). The fact that you ignore this demonstrates your bad will in engaging in these conversations.

So you support people who are allowed to enter the country to pursue their happiness?

  Of course, why wouldn't I? So long as would-be immigrants obey the law they are quite welcome.

    Good to hear. What are you doing to demolish the visa regime that actually doesn't allow all that? Do you have an ETA for the day when anybody who enters USA will be able to seek employment or start a company or do whatever they want in their pursuit of happiness? I was worried that you are advocating for work visas, permits, green cards ect, like a silly EU country would do.

        In other words pursuit of happiness through bureaucracy. Hope Musk keeps enough of those who pick who can pursue happiness in US then. Otherwise the pursuit of happiness will be pretty slow. Anyway, IMHO you are putting too much trust in the abilities and importance of bureaucrats or maybe you want them to do the dirt work so you can feel good for yourself and pretend that you like the American way of life(the right of pursuit of happiness kind of things) but secretly want to be European(the bureaucracy that keeps out the undesirables)?
