I hope you don't mean to be so hateful towards immigrants. I taught English to immigrants for 40 years, starting with the Boat People fleeing Vietnam in the 1970, then Central Americans fleeing Reagans murderous policies there, Persians, Mexicans, children of Migrant Farm Workers...all of them. There were a few carrying a lot of bad baggage but almost all were just good people doing something very hard because they wanted to live.

I think you misunderstood the comment. The point is that Trump and Co. are dehumanizing immigrants while we are being scammed by immigrants Musk, Murdock, Melania, Thiel, etc.

It was not meant to be hateful towards immigrants in any way, shape or form. I was merely pointing out a few prominent influential immigrants that are extremely critical of the United States and how lovely it is that the 1st Amendment allows them to do their thing. I think that most people were reading between the lines of my post.

I get you. It is not a problem for me. I'm kinda sick of trying to be nice and normal towards the people in this country praising Russia and Trump. Everyone is just still a little sensitive.

The USA was built by the labour of stolen people from Africa and immigrants from other countries.

I agree but remember the first stolen labor was the Irish. This is a horror for centuries. Rich wanting slave labor by controlling other people it's pathetic
