a "porous" border as opposed to what? the fucking Berlin wall? the US has had the same border for decades, ever since Reagan ENDED cyclical migration. they used to come here, work for a season, then go home. now they might as well stay because we made it so difficult to come in the first place.
and oh no, not desperately poor migrants staying WITHOUT CITIZENSHIP, the horror! I don't give a fuck about visas. Lady Liberty said "GIVE ME YOUR POOR," did she fucking stutter?
yeah, as they should. we're literally a nation of immigrants. again, did Lady Liberty fucking stutter?
It's as if they hear her saying, Give me your White Tired and your White Weary.
@dietotaku Nailed It!
@dietotaku I can remember in the early eighties going to my friends house in western Ohio and seeing the signs for "Migrant Rest Areas". These people did all the hard work the white folk there didn't want to do. Oh, the Mexican restaurants were the bomb! They came in the spring, left in the fall.
yeah, and? I want them to come. I want them to stay. I want them to find the better life that we have spent our entire 250-year history promising them.
