Tourists and immigrants giving their money to an US company that funnels all the money away from the local tax collectors and underpays their workers is still a net negative. All we're left with is their pollution, and no tax revenue to pay for its removal.

Sounds like an issue to take up with your government. Don’t complain that other people spend _their_ money in a way _you_ disagree with.

"You can't blame us for offering bribes, you can only blame the people who take them" is a weird idea of morality.

I mean you're the one who votes for your officials in your area, so if they're accepting bribes that is kind of on you isn't it?

I as a tourist didn't elect your officials, so it's not on me.
