First generation immigrants are so hard-line lol. It's actually funny. There should be a big brother TV show with them and twitter left activists locked in a house.

When you've paid stupid amounts of money to make it here, and you see somebody showing up and screwing up your deal, you tend to take it somewhat personally, especially if they're from a different ethnic or religious group.
I noted my cousin's harsh tendency toward fellow Haitians trying to claim refugee status during the Trump era because they were afraid of being deported from the US back to Haiti. His view was that it wasn't Canada's problem to solve if the US didn't want them.
FWIW, I felt far more sympathetic given the current state that Haiti is in right now...
