A country full of immigrants calling newer immigrants "cancer" is just chef's kiss muuaahh

Every immigration issue the US has ever had was self-inflicted.

Interesting how I can learn this from a 5 min video but politicians still somehow don’t understand

My aunt petitioned for my father back in 1988. The green card didn’t come through until 2002, 14 years later. I was a kid then so that automatically gave me a green card as well. I’m now a citizen. Many don’t realize how lengthy the process is.

My wife immigrated through our marriage and my take on the system is that it should be easier, not harder, to get in to the country legally. The amount of paperwork, money, interviews, tax records, and time it took to go through the proper legal channels for a green card was eye opening. It became obvious why people seek an easy option to enter the country and overstay their visa.

"Today most Americans see immigrants as a strength not a burden" oh honey, bless your heart. You weren't ready for 2024
@arun279
Even if you do everything “right” and migrate legally, the wait to get a permanent resident status is laughably long for some nationalities.
@Simon-tc1mc
Literally everyone in the US who wasn't a white English protestant was at one point discriminated against in this country. So it's just infuriating people who are anti immigrant when it's likely their grandparents were discriminated against too.

Recent polling showed most Americans feel illegal Immigration’s is a serious problem. It’s the main reason why Trump did so well.
@erbderbs
Just follow the money. If they're documented then they are entitled to minimum wage, they can vote, they can sue their employer for unpaid wages or injuries, etc. If they remain undocumented then they are at the mercy of their employer.

It took 30+ years for my parents to find a path to citizenship in the US. It’s was an issue that has torn our family apart and emotionally has left every single member drained, frustrated, confused and with no hope. Smh
@aliconico-t9j
The problem is that before the ‘96 law an undocumented worker could leave and apply for legal status and then return and exercise their lawful rights. Prohibiting that meant corporations could ensure poverty exploitative wages and conditions over fear of deportation for speaking up.
@tammyleung7578
I remeber seeing a documentary about a guy who was adopted by an American family and move to USA when he was 6 months old. That guy got deported to South Korea (his birthplace) 40 years later because of issues with the adoption process. He could not speak Korean and knew nearly nothing about Korea! He had to leave his wife and daughter in USA.

People seem to forget Bill Clinton was very conservative on many issues like immigration,death penalty,drug war,border wall etc. to win over Republican voters. Reagan greatly moved US politics to the right and it's legacy still exists.

When I was a kid I'd always hear fox news talking about illegal aliens and I thought we found life on other planets.
@Hey_Bharadwaj
If you have not understood the meaning of the word "irony", @00:33 there is an old woman calling immigrants "cancer", while dressed as the Statue of Liberty! P.S. “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

In 1995 my Social Security number was stolen by several illegal immigrants. I was 12 years old.
