You have a green card so that's great – you can live and work in the USA and you can come and go as you please. But you want to go to Mexico? Well, you need a visa. Going to Canada? Visa required too. Going to Brazil? Sorry, you need a visa. Any country you want to go to – you need a visa because you are from an unpopular country. Now how inconvenient can that be?
