It's hardly "all" foreigners. Those from 28 nations with decent passport security (mostly European nations), are exempt. I would guess these countries account for a substantial portion of visitors to the U.S.
If the Brazilians did a little more to stop the fairly common occurrence of falsified Brazilian papers, they too could be exempt.
