    “Illegal immigrants” to the U.S. is a consequence of all the shit the U.S. did to Central America in the 1980s. They didn’t have to do any of that. They helped toppling stable, democratic governments to put authoritarian clowns that would do whatever they wanted. And when they finished serving their purpose? “Lol get fucked, y’all, bye Felicia!”

    Also, “People are coming here without our consent!” Hmmm… that sounds kind of familiar.

      “Illegal immigration” has always been a part of this country (migrants coming up to work farms during growing season) except they used to go home during the off-season until border crossings became more strict and they had to stay for fear of not making it back in later. These people obviously serve a purpose here in the US or they wouldn’t be coming but our laws just ignore reality in favor of unworkable solutions that leave these people vulnerable to being exploited.
