RE: It's a GOOD thing for MAGA that Dems have a slight House majority
Absolutely agree. You pass my reasonability test :) There’s a lot of shameful fear of culture and language right now... Lots of videos of people assaulting immigrants for speaking in their native tongue, or telling them to ‘go back where they came from’... Not to mention this whole fear-mongering episode from the President about this caravan trying to flee from violence and corruption. Really makes you wonder about the sacred American Dream.
I am an immigrant myself - so I have a certain perspective.
My main point is that an immigrant to any country has to be respectful of the people of the country immigrated to.
As for the caravans - it is not about people seeking admission to the US via lawful means - it's about the encouragement of certain factions of globalist ideologists in the US and other western nations, to be overrun by illegal, unvetted migrants.
Trump has said many times, people are welcome to come, but come legally. The vast majority of legal immigrants agrees. See my section on Legal Migration above.
I think a lot of this kind of stuff is also being manufactured for shock value. My dad used to have teenagers yell "go back where you came from" at him when they were mad at him when I was a kid in the 80s. He is mainly British and German and my family has been here for three generations minimum (that's the shortest time - we have some ancestors here much longer).
We have no real evidence the caravan was formed organically by people fleeing violence and corruption. Some may have been, but if they are legitimately fleeing they should've asked for asylum either at the US consulate or in Mexico. Storming our borders is not the way to flee corruption.
The dream of being able to succeed based on merit (meaning, you do a job well and you'll be sought after to do it regardless of who you are) and not on unearned factors such as race, religion or class is still alive and well here so long as the government is not allowed to begin putting it's thumb on the scales of justice and handicapping people who are perceived as having "too much privilege".
