Okay I've missed it. Someone here tell me what they did to our national parks?

I've heard the Chinese can be a pain, anything else?

Good.

I’ve seen what foreign nationals do to our parks in the way of littering. (watched them do it at the Grand Canyon).

If they litter and pollute, they need to be charged more for someone to clean it up.

I have no problem with that - Seattle charges $49.00 a head to walk into the Space Needle - and then they can spend more at the restaurant....

I’ve been saying this for years. I would put a cap on them. Americans first!

I remember, in Europe, they will charge you quite lot more in some places, if you are not EU citizen!
I actually threw some fib in one place, but it did not work. So we left.

I have no problem charging foreigners, who don't pay a dime in taxes that maintain our parks, to pay extra. My question is, how do the parks determine who is and who isn't a foreigner? Our nation doesn't maintain national id cards and my understanding is that some states will issue driver licenses to foreigner.

I guess the same question could be asked for ICE arrests. Without requiring people to carry or id themselves with a national ID card, how are ICE agents identifying those here illegally?

Seems reasonable to me. Many other countries charge non-citizens more to visit national attractions. Thailand, for one.

I have seen tourists from other countries feeding the animals in Yosemite on more than one occasion. I had to ask some not to feed the raccoons that live under the Curry Village store. They also let their kids feed the chipmunks on the way up to Vernal Falls. You can tell them because they are speaking languages other than English or Spanish and they have enormous cameras. By the way I welcome them to California whenever I speak to them. They are bringing money into our economy.
