    The comments are fascinating. It seems like a lot of Americans don’t know about the ESTA program, and feel discriminated against.

      And if you point them to that, they say that illegal immigrants don’t have to that and that Europeans are killing civilization. Conservatives are really beyond saving.

      Obviously its way past time for us to leave NATO and let the Europeans finally start paying the bulk of their own defense instead of the US taxpayer. I also think we should write our congressmen to insist they pass a law requiring the same VISA app for the EU to come to America.

      Lol.

      The more comments I read the sadder I become. They have no information outside their own little fantasy-filled bubble.

        Try living amongst them. They are dumb farm animals with anger management issues and don’t give a flying fuck about anyone but themselves and “owning the libs”. I’m convinced they’re all sociopaths.

      Even if there was no such program, it’s EIGHT DOLLARS. Who gives a fuck? If you’re traveling to Europe from the U.S., the plane fare alone will be exponentially higher. Hell, we renewed and expedited our passports a few months ago and it cost us $500.

        Hey instead of charging us regular people 8 dollars for exercising the right of migration why don’t they just raise taxes on all those shitheads flying on private jets? No?

      Tbh, I didn’t (embarrassed to say). I’ll write my rep and let them know that’s silly.
