Heh heh. since it has been proven that most wont leave after 30 days 

That's because of the US government's failure to control it.

This is all set up by international treaty and all signers should reciprocate. Since when have the US and others allowed filipinos 30 days free entry. So who's already in the wrong.

Every flight to the U.S. would be booked solid with people leaving with no intention of coming back.

Still the US government's problem to control, not the international community.

With the overflow going to other western countries...

 

But this sort of misses the point. 

If the USA and Great Britain and Australia aren't going to allow 30 days visa exemption upon arrival whatever the (jutified) reasons then the can the Philippines really be expected not to do the same?

So when we catch them, if we can catch them  who pays for their flight home and the detention while they await deportation.

Generally detention is at the detaining countries expense but return flights are at the individuals expense.

It is after all the choice of the country to 'detain' (it's not an international requirement to detain over stayers).

Well then we should also ban Filipinos from owning firearms and land in the U.S.

I'm pretty sure that foreigners can't own firearms that need a license?  That's what I was told anyway...

As for banning overseas ownership of land I wish Australia would do that, the chinese are buying land up left, right and center in Australia :(

Same thing has happened in the U.S. it drove up real estate prices in Seattle that were already high, I think Vancouver B.C. was hit worse.
