It is a widely held view of the US by many foreigners; they don't conceptualize how big and diverse the US is.

I thought a perfectly reasonable and likely interpretation of their comment is that the later sentence, with the "also" does not connect their `value of being a tourism in the US` comment to the political climate. Other commenters here apparently do weigh the cost of travel with the risk the government of the country will detain them.

Right, so you are assuming in bad faith, instead of just asking their point and refuting it!
