my neighbors are immigrants from Ukraine. A family of hard working people and a new baby! I worry for them and do not look forward to interrupting ICE when they raid and I see them on my cameras. “seen these people?” “nope also who are you, get off my lawn.”
That's just so screwed up.
Like, why should it be so hard for your neighbors with a house and a baby to become a US citizen in the first place? It's impractical. If they become citizens or something in between, they pay taxes, everything, all anti-immigration criticism (other than the racism) evaporates.
100%. In my opinion, if a state “must” exist, becoming a citizen should be a 15 minute process. Do you have fingerprints? Can you sign your name? Ok. Welcome, citizen.
I agree mostly, maybe a little more... I don't want any more violent criminals and I don't think lions from the safari should be brought into someplace like NY state.
That said I, as a natural born us citizen of several generations, believe we should welcome other potential citizens with few exceptions.
There are already fixes (read: laws) for those problems though.
I'm tempted to participate in disruptions of ICE raids, but my parents are naturalized citizens and with that potentially being revokable, I don't want to take any chances.
