I really do believe that America should fix America first before it decides to try and ‘help’ other nations. The problem is, obviously, the wrong people are in place and doing it all wrong as possibly be.
Illegal Immigration has been a thorn in America’s side for a couple decades now in recent memory. The only ones who benefit from it, are obviously corporations who love the idea of cheap labor in the form of modern-day slavery. The immigrants who come here, are not seen as people, they are seen as assets. And it is glaring, how those assets are ironically seen as more valuable than natural born workers who got hired.
Don’t believe me? I’ve witnessed it where someone who immigrated here, got to take multiple months off from work and come back to retain her job. Meanwhile, people like me, have had to practically work and weed my way through the system to make sure I have days off, to make sure I keep my job secure. Tell me how in that way is it fair. There are probably numerous examples where naturally born citizens are sometimes treated lesser than, than those who came here from other countries and picked up similar positions to work.
But certain groups of people brush all of that under the rug and play the label game instead, rather than addressing the problem. It’s easier for people to side-step these issues when they aren’t the one experiencing them, so it must be comfy to think radically as if they don’t exist.
And I don’t really buy into the logic that the United States, and ONLY the United States mind you, should have open borders. Countries are allowed to have borders and keep them safeguard, it’s been a thing for CENTURIES! But because it’s the 2010s or 2020s, no no, we have to discard that ideal and apply it only to the United States. I’m sorry but the United States are as allowed as any other country in the world, to have borders and secure them as they see fit.
My point of the matter is, is that if you’re going to migrate to the United States, you’re expected to assimilate. Not be cherry picking and expecting people to bow to your will just BECAUSE you migrated, it doesn’t make you that special. You don’t charge over into places like Japan, Germany or other countries and expect them to bow to your will just BECAUSE you migrated from the United States, do you? If so, you’re part of that problem.
And if you don’t want to assimilate, then you’re best being shipped back. Otherwise, it adds to the problem and I think the whole honeypot melting thing that the US Government has tried pushing around for a while now, has been a fundamental failure. Because now it has been completely politicized and only has made more people argumentative over the issue when it should have just been simpler.
Finally. Someone willing to talk about the issue other than, “ALL IMMIGRANTS GOOD!” And if you don’t believe that, you’re a racist fuck.
Been beat up, here and on reddit, in past years for stating that, yes, we had a nightmare at the southern border. Officials were overwhelmed and under financed, immigrants faced a fucking humanitarian disaster. People were suffering and dying and what did liberals have to say? “Man, fuck you, it’s not true, it’s Fox News propaganda.” Meanwhile, the population of Chicago flooded in, year after year. How the fuck are we supposed to create the infrastructure and housing for America’s 3rd largest city, every year. (I got numbers to back that, but I doubt any here give a shit.)
And JFC, no liberals are bitching about the modern-day slavery aspect. I’ve seen very few positing that we should go after business owners. “Just pay them fairly!” All for it, but the grocery bill is going to explode. And we’re just now seeing the results of running them off, only just begun.
Yes, only Americans are racists for wanting to control our borders. Meanwhile, in Europe, where anti-immigration sentiment and protests are spiking… silence. (I think this is mostly down to overpopulation, but that’s a whole 'nother rant.)
Don’t start me on assimilation. My wife is Filipino. Her and all of her friends have assimilated nicely, thank you very much. Meanwhile, the dudes at the taco truck can’t take an order, from a very limited menu, in English. Had always figured people like that were brand new. We took one of my wife’s coworker’s kayaking. Cool guy. Gay Honduran, walked 30-days to get here. Fucking tough enough for me! He didn’t know words like, “boy”, “girl”, “year”, “please”. Assumed he just got here, OK with that. Nah. He has been here for 5 years.
We need immigrants, but we are fucking it up so badly I can’t get my head around the stupidity.
Not true is any sense, even the technical. Entering the US illegally, or overstaying a visa, is, at best, a civil offense. Still illegal. Diving into what constitutes a criminal offense gets sticky in a hurry.
My wife is a brown, legal immigrant, so I looked this up, read a bit, briefly. Again, it’s complicated, and IANAL, so if the laws might apply, give a look. Bit in no case is entering without documents or overstaying “not illegal”.
Absolutely not.

Except it’s not illegal. Get your facts straight, please.

Sorry, not sorry, blocking radicals. You’re just energy vampires.
