It's actually rather unusual that foreign tourists are being allowed in
the country at all. Throughout US history, tourism has been shut down

Only two States are larger than France: Texas and Alaska. Texas is
about 3% larger than France. Alaska is about 21% as large as all of
the continental United States combined.
