>In exchange for perks like hotel discounts or free meals, visitors can sign up to plant trees, remove invasive plants, reconstruct ancient fishponds, and deliver food to elders.

That sounds like the opposite of a vacation.

The simple fix to have visitors stay permanently, since immigration is wonderful.

The solution to your sarcastic anti-immigration comment is not to shit on immigrants but to make where they came from a place where they want to live.

But that's exactly what I vote for and pay taxes for. I want my local politician to represent the interest of people tens of thousands of kilometers away, to help make sure they have good housing, healthcare, education. If we can't provide that for them over there what choice is there but to bring them here?
