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!

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.

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.

We go legally with passports & travel visas.
I have NO problems with legal immigrants. In September 1786, my family immigrated to the US but we did not pay someone to sneak us in & we did not expect to take from the US & not pay back through taxes & hard work, investing in the US economy. The illegals people complain about send most of their money home, lie & sneak in, do not pay taxes, & use the social service system. According to immigration officials, 56% of illegals use at least 1 welfare program assistance. Who pays?? we do!
I am not the hypocrite.

Umm, I love immigrants..so long as they do it LEGALLY. When I go to Mexico on vacation, I go there with all the legal paperwork, I dont ask for handouts from their government, I dont sneak into school when I'm there, I dont ask for free medical services, and I come home after I dropped a good deal of money to help their economy. Any other questions?

That depends, are we speaking about legal or illegal immigrants? And when they immigrated, did they become part of our country or did they just move here?
It is not hypocritical to expect people who want to live here to do it legally and to conform to our laws and socially acceptable behaviors.
Vacationing in the home countries of these people should not matter to them. They left those countries behind. They are no longer part of that country. Besides which, we have to have a passport to visit, so we go there legally. We follow the rules. We spend tourist dollars there. What's wrong with that?

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 :)

Man, I don't know what everyone here is talking about. I hear people get annoyed with LEGAL immigrants all the time. People absolutely hated my friend Martin, a legal immigrant, because he was a Mexican and couldn't speak English. (And not for a lack of trying; unfortunately, he was stuck working with all Spanish-speakers and was actually rarely exposed to English.) "Go back to your own country if you can't learn English fast enough!"
I'd like to see someone move to Mexico or Russia and try to become completely fluent in those languages within a short time.
There is definitely an "Ugly American" stereotype in many other countries, even though many don't want to admit it. It is partially for this reason, and partially because many vacationers walk into another country acting like they own the place.

I've never left this country (35 years and counting) in my life and don't intend to start now. Although Wyoming is pretty foreign. Besides, you go to other countries and undoubtedly someone will want to hurt/maim/kill you simply because you are from America.
