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?
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.
yes yes, polls show most voters are just as racist as Republicans, I DO NOT FUCKING CARE. there are times when the majority opinion is wrong and government needs to do what's right anyway, this is one of those times.
