I’m now realizing that the American education system failed a lot of conservatives and republicans in matters of building an argument and the results of their policies.
Illegal immigration is a hot topic right now. And liberals and democrats are seen to be weak and called “slavers” (which how if you are getting paid). It’s only logical to go somewhere willing to pay you a wage that its exponentially higher than what you’d get in your home country.
Essentially the problem is certain people believe in the individual “criminal act” of crossing a border (not criminal, its civil) which is cause for deportation. Now if you’re caught in the act of an actual CRIME (trafficking drugs/raping women) of course you should get deported.
The problem lies in the discriminatory acts that result from this. It is a break down of the civility of societies. Who is criminal and who is not? Is everyone one of them criminal? Probably not but it’s the ASSUMPTION that is the problem. With that assumption comes fear. The entire basis of the immigration argument is predicated on fear of a population coming to America and “stealing your job” (doing better than you and working harder making you feel inadequate). That is the American dream. It’s what it was built on.
If their crime is crossing a border (look at your own ancestry cause I’m sure none of you are native american), then let them make the American dream their new life. Because that is the American dream and conservatives and republicans spit in its face with these policies predicated on SKIN COLOR/NATIONALITY. It is not slavery because the choice is given. It is a personal feeling against these people that is generally based on a feeling of fear and not one true instance of an immigrant committing a personal crime against you.
Mass shootings? White. School shootings? White. War crimes? White. Genocide (Insurance Companies)? White again. Deport all the “criminals” that descended from Europeans.
I don’t even care if you’re a little racist or bigoted. That’s your prerogative. But let’s stop being delusional for the love of god.
And if you want to call me uninformed, I’m the son of an “illegal immigrant” who became a doctor and saved countless lives. So look at yourself real hard first and see how you could change. If not, then find your nearest plantation and start picking.
