On my stance of immigration, I only wanted illegals out of my country. This here is a green card holder, a renewed one at that, being the one getting all of his shit ruined for no reason.
I can't really lower the bar any lower as to how unpatriotic I feel towards USA at this time.
As a native I would also like your “illegal” ass out of my country and continent
From your response I am assuming you voted for Trump. If so may I ask where you got your i formation from regarding all his policies leading up to the election?
Every American paying tax has blood on their hands when it comes to America's wrong doings.
It's like paying a hitman to do the dirty work and then pretending "no they didn't die because of me."
This is an awfully dumb take.
There's a lot of nations and people who would agree. In fact Canada is coming close to it already.
If taxes aren't paid people go to prison.... So what's realistic, non prison, way people can be innocent with this perspective?
Paying taxes isn't a choice*
*for poor people
I'm curious for everyone downvoting, what do you want for immigration reform?
I don't think open borders could work, and if we don't have open borders, we need some mechanism to enforce our immigration policy.
Note: this question stems from the parent comment, I know the article is about a green card holder. I also find the way he was treated as inhumane for any person regardless of immigration status.
I do not think you will get an honest answer because people are just fueled by emotion and triggered. The biggest double standard in regards to immigration is that the US should be open border but everyone else should continue to look down at Americans as tourists and treat them as such. While restricting americans and being stingy at them when they arrive to their country and assimilate immediately.
But when we do it then it is xenophobic and people carting out the old "your country has always been ran by immigrants" and blah blah blah. Two faced people I swear.
I don't even know if I've heard many people actually calling for open borders. However, it's one of the major policy areas that I don't really know what the democratic party's stance really is. Maybe I just need to read more into it.
I assume you're upset because this guy is white.
