"Foreign visits to US drop sharply"

This is good news. Stay home, the lot of you. We don't want you here.

Why?

The fewer foreigners in our country the better... Just look at the 9/11 murderers... how many were born here in the good old U.S.A?

OK, fine we don't allow some gal in who would seem to make a great addition, but we leave the Southern gates WIDE OPEN? We get illegals special cards, give them SocSec and 'in-state' tuition in Calif?

We've got to do better than that.

All foreigners should just go away anyways. I hate all foreigners.

But I hate all Americans too.

Hmm.

Yep. All foreigners are trash (as everyone knows). Only Americans are superior to all. We are the superior race and people. In fact, we need a wall up, electrified, to keep out even legal immigration or even just short term visitors on tourist visas. Stupid foreigners. How can they come here and appreciate the United States after only two weeks? Only Americans can appreciate America. Jerks can't even speak American, only jibberish. Damn them to hell, I hear too much Italian and Dutch and British accents at the Grand Canyon and elsewhere as it is. To hell with whole American industries such as hoteliers, tourism, tour bus drivers, airports, airlines, mechanics for airlines, flight attendants, interpreters, ethnic restaurants, beef producers (that make dry ice 'take home packs' for Japanese), universities, Christian missions. Everyone knows all foreigners are terrorists and illegal aliens, anyway. Yep, we need to go back to Japan like it was in the Tokugawa period, during Sakoku Jidai.

They are underhandedly blaming this on Evil America, driving away tourists.

Funny though, we haven't had a dropoff in applications for immigration visas... People still want to come here.

Other travel to the US is down... because THE ENTIRE WORLDWIDE TRAVEL INDUSTRY IS IN A SLUMP, and has been since oh, Sept 2001.

I think you broke the FR sarcasm meter. The resulting downtime will cost you.

Where can we send the bill?
