No, I am not suggesting that you will be allowed into the country if you
can't pay the fee. I am comparing the situation of a U.S. citizen, for whom
it is a simple matter of paying $100 and entering Chile, with that of a
Chilean, who pays the same amount when he applies for a visa to visit the
U.S. yet risks being turned down and losing the $100.
