I can eat sushi, pizza, samosas, kebab (kabobs, döner or shawarmas depending on your frame of reference), gyoza/pot stickers/tortellone/pasteczki (or whatever), noodles/ramen/spaghetti, knödeln/kroppkakor and so on and so on. Leaving lots of cultures unsaid.

I can enjoy music, cringy cultural movies (animated and not), fun cirque sessions (even without animals being endangered), go to festivals for various cultures, enjoin then in our cultures of scouting, mountaineering, hiking and share my love of enjoying nature.

I can drive electric cars, communicate on Internet forums, keep in touch with new friends as well as loved ones across the world.

I would be in a much poorer world without you all.

    Noone says immigration is evil. The whole discourse in US is all around illegal immigration specifically. Lot of people conflates these two things

      …so you just haven’t been paying any attention at all? We’ve already dropped the “illegal” part and are targeting legal immigrants and, in some cases, even actual citizens (if they’re brown, of course).

      That’s a bold claim.

      You do know they’re rounding up and incarcerating/deporting legal immigrants and talking about denaturalizing citizens, right? They left that argument behind about only going after “illegals” after the inauguration. Now we’ve got Stephen Miller basically recreating internment camps and Laura Loomer talking about feeding 65 million Hispanics to alligators.

      Ah yes. That must be why ICE is ambushing people as they attend their immigration court hearings that they are required to attend in order to be here lawfully.

      Go back to sucking on paint chips and leave the discourse to people who arent completely brain damaged.

      But then the moment someone tries it legally, they get assaulted by ice 5 seconds after being rejected.

      Doesn’t solve the problem that most people immigrate, illegally or otherwise, due to some desperation. Humans will always move to where they believe their life will be better. Has been like that for the past 10,000 years.

      Uhh… I am pretty sure a big portion of people see immigration as something bad in the USA. There is a reason they are deporting so many “non-illegal” immigrants.

      how much does the current federal administration care about the legal/ illegal dichotomy in their blatantly cruel & unnecessary actions against the most vulnerable of our neighbors & associates?

      The problem is that the right do not consider asylum seeking to be legal even though it is infact legal. So you get the right deport people who are legally in the country while saying they’re only deporting illegals. Its a fracturing of reality.
