Are the laws different in the states where these people are coming from or have traffic laws changed? Please don't yell at, honk at, or flip me off. I simply want to obey the law.

If it's a 2-way stop (stop signs for you and traffic coming at you) and the cross-traffic does not have stop signs, then I've always gone by the "whoever got to their stop sign first has the right-of-way", regardless of who is turning or not turning. Of course cross-traffic (no stop signs for them) has the constant right-of-way over both you and your opposing traffic.
But I've found that not everybody else sees it that way. Proceed with caution!
