As an immigrant, I can relate. Moved for a better future and found it in the states - that is until things went downhill fast. Still, it’s only thanks to the US immigration policy that I am able to write this right now. Who knows where I would have been otherwise - probably dead. nostr:note1vef8n8a3t4g8xe4qwgqjky4gykkd840q02vyxe7zphcla8n676aq2x6c6h

Nearly everyone in the USA is an economic migrant within an handful of generations.
That’s partly what bothers me with all the scapegoating going on. People who move to seek out better lives typically do a lot for economies. Occasionally something horrific happens because 1% of all humans are psychos and we haven’t found a way of dealing with it then every migrant gets tarred with the same brush as some psycho.
Last night a whole bunch of wankers in the UK got a big fuck off from neighbourhoods across the country. Cool!
Legal immigration is fine (and desirable).
Illegal immigration is not.
I mostly agree but also think asylum is good
A special case...and (frankly) being abused as nothing but an excuse...a loophole.
