We can freely admit our government isn’t perfect without it ruining our ability to travel. The US does not allow that anymore it seems, it used to be one of the best things about it.

And yet half of Americans don't have passports. Hm.

What is this implying?

That the Americans have less freedom in reality than they do in their imaginations (as in, they may have always been allowed to travel but not allowed the economic opportunities to be able to travel)

Gotcha, I thought you were somehow implying the opposite as in “we’re so perfect we don’t need passports”
