"Not to mention the horrible security checks and the visa denials that are done by the US against Pakistanis..."
Horrible security checks? What are you babbling in light of Pakistan's behavior to our diplomats whom are afforded immunity by protocol and require severe security arrangements to stay alive long enough in your country to do their jobs. It is from Pakistan's border area that the worst attack upon American civilians was planned. Nonetheless, Pakistan's embassy is staffed by the full complement which has been requested.
MORE IMPORTANTLY-
Some 210,000 U.S. citizens of Pakistani descent reside in our nation, many of them first generation Americans (i.e. immigrants). The Pakistani Embassy estimates there are at least another 290,000 Pakistanis living here on temporary or work visas as well as illegally.
Care to compare any of that to Pakistan.
Who's getting harassed again?
Thanks.
Try to walk through JFK as a Pakistani and then talk. By comparison Americans are treated with humongous hospitality. Your American JOB isn't supreme over the safety and well being of my countrymen.
Also, in a way they are protecting everyone, including the Americans. Are you seriously saying Americans are above committing crimes? History doesn't speak so highly of you, especially your diplomatic staff. So as long as they are venturing out of American consulates, they should go through the same checks placed upon any of us.
Perhaps Americans won't be rejected their visas if they didn't put forth candidates of questionable characteristics. Re-apply with newer candidates, simple as that. Tough.
