Don't pretend to know what goes through my mind.

Suppose that I would not be able to get a U.S. passport in even twenty year's time. I would still have picked the U.S. The dynamism in that country is something Canadians will never be able to replicate. Canadians like you like to think that your country is some multicultural paradise and that you're saints doing third-world chuds like me a favor by allowing entry. There is a deep current of Canadian nativism or racism or whatever you want to call it that is being clearly expressed in these forums. In Canada, these problems are swept under the rug and everyone can live with the delusion that all is well. At least in the U.S., for all their problems, they can have honest conversations about these issues.

But hey, if my presence in the country spites you and your ilk, then it would have achieved something worthwhile.
