If an 'immigrant' can steal your job, maybe you were shit at it in the first place?
It's called a free market. And it's the opposite of both Communism and Socialism.
America was built on it.
^^^ Maybe even this... and I know I'm going 'out there' here but maybe just maybe, they aren't the 'freeloaders' - maybe YOU are.
America was built on 'immigrants'.
@th3j35t3r I know that when my folks went through the 5-year citizenship process in 1953, they learned so much of civics and American history that they knew more of how the US worked than people born here.
You're not "out there" with the points you're making.
@evamarie A lot of work, but ultimately worth it.
@MisterE @th3j35t3r Yes One of my students that graduated last year and his mother are studying and preparing so hard to become citizens. They are from El Salvador. I am privileged to help them study sometimes. I wish every student knew what these two are learning and cared so much.
@carmahaz I know what you say. Those that don't have to put in the work will take it for granted that they are due everything they have. Not always so for immigrants.
@MisterE @th3j35t3r
My mom did, too. She passed her nursing boards when we first moved here, no small feat learning all that anatomy, physiology and pharmacology in English, and went through the citizenship process just like your folks.
