Why does evryone feel they have a right to diss immigrants but still travel to...

...their countries on vaca? Are you being a hypocrite

I believe that you left out one important word - illegal. If people come here legally, I have nothing against them. If they come here illegally and then they demand benefits that citizens don't even get ( in-state tuition rates for non-residents, free medical care, etc....) then I have a problem.

As far as tourism, I have visited five foreign countries and I did it with the proper paperwork to get in/out of those countries. And when I was supposed to leave, I left. While I was visiting someone else's country, I obeyed the laws and didn't demand that I get free services and that they change all of their signs to accomodate me.

So, comes down to legal or illegal. Respect our laws - no problem.

It's not a question of arriving and putting in a whole new administration, but instead, arriving and "compacting" things as much as possible, reducing management layers. We want as few management layers as possible, so that executives are very close to the operations. We also don't believe in having big corporate infrastructures.

We do not diss immigrants, we are opposed to illegal immigration... We travel into other countries and spend big $$ and we do everything nice and legal.

Immigrants are not the problem here.

i dont think u speak for everyone
i certainly dont diss immigrants but i m sure there are some
and i dont think immigrants mind too much about getting dissed ( not that i support) but people from rich countries visiting their country actually boosts their ecomony

Because, obviously,

We don't diss immigrants, just the illegal ones
We don't break into their country, their government would throw us out or worse
We don't get illegally employed in these countries
We don't demand rights in their country
Our travels there help the people way more than illegal immigrants help the US

Oh, and the only one of these countries I've been to is Mexico, which is not as third-worldish as some would like us to believe. Quite pleasent actually

Tourists are legal also helps the local economy $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Immigrants are NOT dissed ILLEGAL ALIENS are! I really wish people would get that straight! Immigrants work their asses off to become citizens and come here legally..ILLEGAL ALIENS DON'T! Thus the word illegal!

Going to a country for vacation is a short little trip and usually about 2 weeks. ILLEGAL ALIENS are not here for a short little trip because that would be a vacation and they would go home. There is the problem and the difference...vacationers go home...illegal aliens don't! IMMIGRANTS (did ya get that) are making their homes in the country they are immigrating to LEGALLY!
