1) All of the rights we are guaranteed, like freedom of speech, religion, the press, etc. 2) Those rights apply to everyone, even visitors.

I know people point out more advanced countries like Singapore but for countries this size, the US is a leader here. Our international airports can't all compete with Singapore or Seoul, but we have about 2 international airports for each state.
