    “If you’re a legal immigrant you’re safe.”

    • does everything they can to make becoming legal or staying legal impossible.
    • camps out in immigration courts to abduct people trying to get/stay legal.

      This is what really infuriates me is that they fuck over anyone who is working to do the right thing within the system that has failed them.

        I was discussing the “immigration crisis” with some conservative friends and when I said “if you want to stop illegal migration, then we need to make legal immigration faster, cheaper, and easier.”
        That simple suggestion infuriated them. It’s not about legality, it’s about xenophobia / racism.
