Bureaucracy is white noise no matter what language is used.

None of the things mentioned in the article are remotely comparable to just wanting to vacation in the US for a few months.

Having done both of these activities a few times (vacation in the US, hiking around Hungary) I can say with great confidence that they are a lot more similar than you might think - but then again, you might have a smoother time with ICE and America's border histrionics than many.

Why yes. Yes, I have. The John Muir trail in California. Three weeks, 213 miles, 47,000 feet of elevation gain, and all I got was a lifetime of memories.

And you took no pictures, and wrote no words, and took no memorabilia? Where would you even get a stamp book up there?

Are pictures and written words a requirement now? Wish I knew that 35 years ago when I made the trip.

No one said they were a requirement. It's bizarre how defensive you are over these questions.
