What's the whole point in supporting legal immigration if you don't care for individual circumstances?

@calicuz I've thought on number 3 a lot, you're right.

@BohoBabe I'm sure there's honest people who don't really mean to perpetuate a cycle of violence for immigrants. But every person I've ran into thus far who said they wanted legal immigration have been maga types and so it just seems to be a dog whistle at this point.

@SatanBurger they don’t care how people get here just what skin color they are. If illegal immigrants came from Canada instead of Mexico then they wouldn’t have this much attention.

@Captainjackass That's right sadly, it's depressing. I wonder what makes them.. them. The mind of a racist.

@SatanBurger its narcissism and their quest to blame others for their own failures. They want to be angry and being racist gives them an excuse to be. You ever seen an actual successful racist person?

@MistyCee It is, I've noticed that people want to see the good in others so everyone believes politicians at face value and then it becomes culturally acceptable to be racist because people believe the lies that these racists really just want legal immigration rather than just being psycho. They always want to see the good in people.

It doesn't help that we all are not around each other long enough to know warning signs or see red flags in someone so we all just believe people at face value.

@SatanBurger I suppose that's true in general, but with the "legal immigration" thing, I do know immigrants who resent people not going through the process "correctly" and I do think, for them, it's not so much a racial or ethnic thing.

@MistyCee Yeah but still I doubt they're racist against their own kind but remember colonialists pitted two African tribes against one another even though they were the same race. They convinced one group that they were stronger and even examined their bodies. Those two went to war. I read about how colonialists did that to these groups and there's even historical letters from that time detailing colonialists admitting that they did this intentionally to inspire war with the two groups.

In this case it's different but if you examine what whites say about other races they'll say things like "you're not like those people" and "you're different."

I think it's kind is similar even though we're not dealing with tribes per se.

Because I've known some Trump immigrants too and they also say propaganda they've heard from colonialists so while it's not the same, I think if one out group is looked at as smaller or weaker and how red blooded Americans are stronger in propaganda I think it becomes sub consciously engrained in our society.
