Having a US view point I just assumed that foreigners just did what I did. Buy a plane ticket, book a hotel and go!

    As a Dominican with only USA VISA (but interested in visiting Europe, Canada, NZ and Australia), I find the USA VISA the most charitable one once you get it. Fill out a long annoying and invasive form, pay $160 USD fee, do your "interview" at the the US embassy (of which they have one everywhere), if you're approved you generally get a multiple entry for 10 years and you get your passport back in less than a month. When I research the fees and processes for the Schengen, UK or NZ VISA, I immediately get a headache. For comparison, to apply for a 10 year multiple entry VISA to the UK, you have pay over 800 pounds. For NZ I'd have to mail my passport to Washington DC. So unfriendly.

      There are still some benefits I could think of by being in America - like access to many different careers that in other countries (incl. Canada and EU) would be paying much less and you'd just have less opportunities. (I originally posted it as a reply to someone else, but I think it could also fit here)
      Having a Green Card is actually a superior status to being an American citizen, if you can get it. I'm a non-US person and if I ever get a reason to live permanently in the States this is as far as I'd go, but I would not go all the way and naturalize.
      A Green Card grants you with all rights and privileges an American would have except for voting, running for office and some government jobs that require a clearance. With the Green Card, it's a much easier process to sever your ties to America - along with the global taxation that comes with it.

      There are still some benefits I could think of by being in America - like access to many different careers that in other countries (incl. Canada and EU) would be paying much less and you'd just have less opportunities.
      Having a Green Card is actually a superior status to being an American citizen, if you can get it. I'm a non-US person and if I ever get a reason to live permanently in the States this is as far as I'd go, but I would not go all the way and naturalize.
      A Green Card grants you with all rights and privileges an American would have except for voting, running for office and some government jobs that require a clearance. With the Green Card, it's a much easier process to sever your ties to America - along with the global taxation that comes with it.

    To not be able to visit your home country without a visa is a big "freedom" or "peace of mind issue" for many who will have emotional ties, friends and family there. What if a family member is taken sick and you need to rush back? Or funerals etc, or just spontaneity? Getting a visa and entry to the USA is NOT a straightforward, pleasant and guaranteed process at all, even for me on ESTA as a European on a tier A passport I get grilled and barked at when visiting there.
    For me any complete passport portfolio for ex citizens must include visa free access to their home country. It's probably the very one country everyone would like to visit without strings - where they are originally from and where their roots are.
