Actually I said VISAS should be easier (not easy) to get for many of those countries not listed in the 38 that have waived VISA requirements.
Many people in that list of 38 countries who have waived VISA requirements are also here in the United States illegally. Even though their VISA requirement has been waived they still have a time limit (normally 3-6 months)before they must return to their home nation. Well, they have not.
Eventually every country's' nationals will have a high rate of overstaying their VISA or Tourist Card (where a VISA requirement has been waived) if we do not enforce the laws already in the books.
Our government has been sending mixed messages out there to the world. We have laws on the books, yet the government places bread trails and bottled water along the border and a booklet listing the sanctuary cities where the law breakers will be protected.
Again, everything you stated comes back to our government and its refusal to enforce the laws, punish both the illegals and any American/American Employer assisting the illegal to either come here or stay here with hefty fines and/or long jail time.
Why? I provided you the reasons why it is more difficult to get a visa depending upon what country you are talking about. Be specific about what countries it should be "easier." Name a country.

No. There are many countries where the people receiving the visas prefer to return home rather than live illegally in the US. The visa wavier program has been growing reflecting that reality.

Agree. And the biggest message sent is that if you get here illegally, you will be given amnesty at some point. When you reward something, you get more of it.
