And your point is? No one said the US is a company and that is completely irrelevant to the point which is our immigration policies and harrassing tourists has caused losses to the US economy. You seem to think that's no big deal
You don't give a damn about the tourism industry. You don't like that Trump is enforcing our laws. Some travel agents in other countries might worry about too. But you can relax. They'll get used to it, respect it, and the numbers will be right back up.
How do you know? Wasn't the guy in Colorado overstaying a tourist visa when he tried to kill a bunch of citizens with burning gasoline?
I take most of what you guys say as immature BS.
Immigrants who are working, contribute to our economy. Why should we have a policy to drive them out?
Losing money is an investment? What on earth are you talking about?
What does this have to do with a decrease in international tourism revenue? You're not making sense.

Tourists that overstay aren’t committing a crime its a civil violation
The only thing they'll need to get used to is booking trips outside the US.
So, you own a bar. Know how to stop your bar from being robbed? Lock the door.
I know that feeling.
Nah I’m thrilled that MAGA knows we’re right about immigration. It’s just hilarious how eager they are to embrace it when they think they just came up with this idea, themselves.
Not that it matters, but my comment was in the context, to me, of being in a war. Of course we have bombed terrorists that attacked us, on specific instances.
Think now, slowly. Foreign travel agencies have noticed that we are enforcing our immigration laws. They've put out "advisories." It's estimated that a number of tourists will follow the warnings in those advisories. The drop in tourism revenue to American businesses is estimated to be about 8% this year. That will cause some loss in tax revenue to the country. A loss in tax revenue can be considered to be the equivalent of spending. Therefore, enforcing our laws will have two effects; (1), a drop in business income and tax revenue and (2) greater adherence to the law going forward. Since that loss of revenue is the cost of a positive change in our society, the lost revenue can be considered an investment in our future.
This is going to be a long post. You're predicting a loss in tourism revenue because the US has begun enforcing it's laws.
Tourists are breaking two kinds of laws. Criminal laws such as the guy who had overstayed his visa and used the time to plan and carry out an act of attempted murder, and the act of purposely overstaying the visa. The other thing (among many) that you don't understand is that you have cause and effect reversed. See if you can figure that out before your next post on the subject.
No. I'm not going to spend my time doing an analysis of the number and types of crimes committed by visa overstays. We know, from Colorado, that some tourists commit crimes. Since a visa overstay can be anything from weeks to years, its a reasonable assumption that some of those people commit crimes.
I don't know. You'll have to ask the guy who started this sub-thread.
Obviously, you haven't read much of this discussion. It was asserted that tourism revenue will drop because of some fears caused by the US enforcing it's immigration laws. Tourists and foreign travel agencies will get used to the new enforcement, and tourism revenues will increase again.

You know, don't you, that absolutely none of that has a damn thing to do with immigration?So, you own a bar. Know how to stop your bar from being robbed? Lock the door.
Wanting to operate a business with revenue, you don't lock the door. In a span of four weeks, your bar is robbed three times by people from the neighborhood and once by someone from out of town.
Do you stop serving people from out of town? Do you lock the door? Or do you beef up security?
You're a little late to the party. I've already said that the US bombs terrorists that attack us.Ah, I didn't realize when you said the US hasn't bombed in years, you meant within the context of a war. I guess bombing people doesn't count unless we declare war?
Weird story man. Just take the L and acknowledge Trump bombs people too.
