The United States will soon become the playground for Asia's Nouveau Riche. It is the end of an Empire.
Btw, Chinese tourists. God they're awful. I'd rather deal with an American tourist visiting Australia then one coming from China. They are the definition of crazy fucking rude.

Best way to open the US for tourism is to make the experience of entering the US a much smoother experience, less of what it currently is which is in majority of cases, a very stressfull and negative experience. So much that I have decided to boycott the US because of that simple reason. That's such a pity as I would love to spend more time in the US, specially Florida, Vegas, San Diego and Hawaii.

And "U.S." must be a euphemism for NYC, LA, Chicago, Miami, Orlando and a few other large cities b/c no one's dying to go to Wyoming.

Would be easier if you didn't have so many people overstaying visas and working illegally, and random ppl trying to commit terrorist attacks. Americans don't want to keep out tourists. We like foreign currency just as much as any other country.
Contrary to the "America in Decline," crowd in this forum, more people want to immigrate to the US than any other country. And guess what? Even tons of people in China still want to immigrate to the US. So we still need to control who gets in.
So unfortunately, no, we can't open the floodgates and let every random shmo into the country. But yes, I agree, it should be as seamless of a process as possible.
You hit the nail on the head.

Most of the people I meet here in the states who hail from Brazil seem pretty solid. They're either tourists spending $$$ on electronics or running their own company if they are already living here.

How come no Americans are talking about the correlation this has to the value of your money? The USD has been plummeting against other foreign currencies for many years. Many people usually avoided the states in the past as they could get more value for trips elsewhere.
For me it will be easier and cheaper but for a USA national this is a sign your cash is doing less for you then you perceive.

FACT.
Chinese are so nice back in China, outside China they're just... Gahhh. When I was in Singapore they were acting like the biggest retards.
A bit like the Brits one encounters on their annual summer jaunt in the Greek islands or Ibiza.
Seriously though, the US has alot to offer to the discerning tourist. The rep that the US has here in Europe is poor. It needs to come up with some good marketing to get the ching ching to fill the empty coffers.
