You are acting like it’s an either/or proposition.
We had a sensible bi-partisan president pan to re-vamp our immigration. Your guy killed it in the interest of his election.
We could have sensible changes to our system, deport criminals, deal with the remainder, but do so with the dignity they deserve as fellow humans.
It could all be done without eroding our due process rights, sending people to foreign prisons whose only crime was that they came here for a better life, and not creating a thug police force to run our streets in masks and refuse to identify themselves.
We could also do it without rounding up US citizens who happen to be brown just because we are trying to meet a quota.
We could do it without terrifying children, putting people in cages, splitting up families and acting like these people are subhuman.
Instead, your guys want to dehumanize and blame those who have the least power for all your failings in life. Like you guys could be billionaires and life would be like Mayberry USA if it wasn’t for all those dirty illegals taking our jobs, living in housing you wouldn’t dream of living in, and living off the government tit (which they aren’t).
Of course, there is all the white entitlement you feel which is wrapped up in God, flag, and guns.
My biggest disappointment is going to be that there is not a God to look you people in the eye and ask you what the fuck was wrong with you.
Your post clearly proves that you have resolved the dissonance in all this by believing that these people are responsible for whatever problems we have that we have kicked the can down the road on for decades.
Meanwhile, you still expect our economy to hum, people to do the worst but necessary jobs like picking your produce, mowing your lawn, building your houses, clean up your shit in hotels and cook your food, all for next to nothing in cost to you.
But, instead, you have chosen to support being cruel, stupid and generally uninformed and bigoted.
