i remember as a kid it being banged into my head how america was great because it was a giant melting pot… bring us your poor, tired, etc. the numbers bear out that first generation immigrants work harder, cause less crime than ‘natural’ citizens.
and its true, immigrants made this country. it is a country of immigrants… cuz, ya know, mass native population genocide and all.
but here we are… these conservative fuckwads have somehow convinced everyone the opposite is true.
if youre anti-immigration, youre just racist. thats it.
What first world country isn’t the country of immigrants? Look at any successful country in Europe. UK and Ireland especially, would sink to the bottom if not for the cheap labour it got in the 2000s.
It’s wild how different it is now. Even the people who raised me with those same values (in this case, my parents) are now Trump supporters. Like what the fuck happened to you? YOU MADE MY LIKE THIS!
Honestly, this is a reason that I am glad, in a fucked up kind of way, that my father died when I was young. He was intelligent but I’ve seen a lot of intelligent people go off the rails in the last decade as well as from a very religious family. I don’t know that I’d have coped as well as folks like yourself.
I hope that your parents come to their senses and own up to their mistakes.
From where I’m sitting, the USA was always a massive piece of shit on racial and gender prejudice issues. I guess some of us must have been more fortunate with the Independent School District Lottery.
