Immigration procedures have political implications everywhere, e.g. the backlash against work visa issuance to Indian IT workers, in US or Germany.

It is far better to restrict visa-on-arrival only to small countries, and not US or UK. Having dealt with the process of getting a US visa, I am not in favour of it being any easier for Americans to get an Indian visa. With continued economic growth in India, there's no lack of demand for visas anyway.
