I feel superior as a US citizen as I am native born, as were my parents and grandparents.
There is a way to go through the immigration line very quickly; but you have to pay for the privilege and have an interview.
It's called "global entry".
It's not too expensive, so you don't have to be so rich.
You can get it extended to your car and they call it "sentri" lane entering the USA from Mexico.
But either way it sucks that you have to pay for it.
This is just so wrong.
No one, regardless of status or wealth or extra payment, should be treated at all differently by the US government from any other US citizen. There must be no difference whatsoever between the billionaire and the homeless guy in terms of access to and waiting for government services.
Another egregious example is the DMV. It came out a couple of years ago that no California legislators have to stand in DMV lines, because there is a special private DMV in the Capitol building in Sacramento just for their own private use. This is also just horribly wrong and must be abolished.
Want to see all our public services improve? Make them apply to the very rich exactly the same as they apply to the very poor. That's all we need to do.
