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.

The following is taken directly from the Florida Drivers Handbook:

An open intersection is one without traffic control signs or signals. When you enter one, you must yield the right-of-way if:

• A vehicle is already in the intersection.
• You enter or cross a state highway from a secondary road.
• You enter a paved road from an unpaved road.
• You plan to make a left turn and a vehicle is approaching from the opposite direction.

When two cars enter an open intersection at the same time, the driver on the left must yield to the driver on the right.

Unless I'm misreading what you've asked, what I've highlighted answers your question, and those that yell, honk and flip-it need to go to a drivers safety course, read the drivers manual and/or take anger management classes. If I'm not reading it right, go to the following ref. and see if you can find an answer there.
