Ran across this… and we don’t make the proactive, offense / winning case often enough (about why immigration is a wonderful thing anymore), because we are so busy disabusing the hard right of their despicable lies — and senseless cruelty.
In any event… Do go read it all — it rings true:
…Immigrants did not steal your job, your town, or your future. Automation, corporate greed, and your refusal to adapt did, and these innocent and wonderful immigrants simply refused to sit still while the world has changed.
They commit less crime, start more businesses, work longer hours, and move where the work actually is, which is why they terrify your cowardly and moronic movement built entirely on excuses. You are not defending America; you are defending stagnation, wrapping personal failure in a flag and calling it patriotism. The border is not the crisis. The crisis is grown adults who would rather scream about immigrants than compete in the country immigrants still believe in….
Excellent!
