Fair may not be the right word but it is true that to hold for example an American passport compared to say a Nigerian one means that as individuals we have more freedom to travel/migrate etc..

To be honest, I don't think it's fair at all. The world should be for everyone, isn't it? But people in power don't seem to think so.

No. It is not fair. All people are born somewhere in the world and they cannot help it. They are given a nationality to begin with, and often this nationality gives them little chance to move and become a citizen of other countries - some have this option, others do not, and most have some outside chance if they really commit to it and put their time and money into it (if they have enough), or if a major company supports them through this process.
The 'it is fair' half is this though: each country in the world has the opportunity now to work towards building good bilateral relations with other countries in the future, and these relationships (along with the poverty & developedness and the coincidental continental organisations like ASEAN & the EU and the rightwingness of the other countries' policymakers) determine what restrictions the people of their country will face in the future. And every country has the opportunity to work on these relationships.

I hold three passports and can virtually travel the world with no restriction. So yes it gives you more freedom to travel if you have "the right passport"
I am not sure about your question- are you asking if it is fair or not?
Some people are born rich, some people are born poor, some are born smart ,some are born not so smart, some are born good looking, some are born not so good looking
Life is unfair! I don’t think so. I think everything happens for a reason.

People choose where they live (unless they are too poor to change and then they probably don't have a passport).
Given that they have chosen, they have to also expect that whatever burden's or liberties come with their country of choice is also something they need to expect.
Given that they chose...it must be fair.

You mean like qualifications in the 'third world' being meaning anywhere else. Suppose a black person wanted to move to eastern europe, would they suffer racism. That word 'freedom' only works if you're white.

Hmm, i be conscious of what you advise. The state I stay in has fickle climate. there is not any reason to hearken to the climate comments...they could't ever discern it out. looking out the window is the superb wager.

It has to do with one's family having built the country that has those possibilities for their children and their children. We continue to pay to fund its services for our own poor and our own children.
Those who haven't built that kind of a country don't have that kind of a country, and are assumed less likely to return to the country they do have.
It has to do with how many people countries that subsidize services for their poor are willing to pay for.

Passports have nothing to do with it. Cash is king.
