    Easy to say knowing your home is a safe place to be. Also really racist and presumptuous to assume that someone wanting better opportunity and safety is by default dangerous and/or always going to be poor.

    And extremely ironic to say that from a country that was founded on the idea of coming here for better opportunities.

      Coming legally. Legal immigration.

        Dude, there were already people here when we showed up. We killed them and gave them diseases and stole their land. How’s that for coming here legally? So arrogant.

          Conquered. We conquered them. That’s not immigration.

            Do you just enjoy being obtuse and trying to argue the exact opposite of what someone else says, regardless of whether you’re correct or not?

              You think I’m incorrect then? Go ahead and tell me what I’m wrong about.

                  Ah yes. The individual. A perfect indicator of what the whole is. Just kidding it doesn’t work like that.

                    At what point does a group of immigrants become evil? Is there a number? Or which aspects of non-assimilation cross a line? The food? Language?

                    or is it hard to define the objective basis of this fear you have?

              Yes, and they’re trying their best. That’s why they need to go back. Honestly the worst immigrants are the ones who refuse to assimilate and form their own insular enclaves. That’s how you get no go zones and terrorists.

                  You haven’t heard about the issue regarding immigrants refusing to integrate? Are you blind?

                I appreciate you just admitting to being racist. We all knew you were, obviously, but its kind of you to own up to it so easily like this.

                  Don’t know what the fuck you read, but American isn’t a race. It’s a mindset. If you can’t mesh with that then go away.

                Youve got to just be trolling people at this point. There’s no way a real person believes immigrants are trying to conquer the U.S.

            By this logic, you would absolutely respect an immigrant came into your house, beat the fuck out of you, and claimed it was theirs. That’s okay to you, right?

                The same logic applies, only different scale. Plus, in case you’ve forgotten, nations are made of people. It’s people that lose their homes, their loved ones, their lives.

                So, back to the question, how would you feel about someone coming into your home, killing you and claiming r to be theirs now?

                  I suppose you can ask that unironically to the Israelis doimg that to the Palestinians. But really, this is ancient history in America. It was done mostly on behalf of the government, which is different from individual actions. Unless of course you are saying that the “economic migrants” (illegal aliens) are working on behalf of an invading government.
