But they did let the asylum seekers in at Martha's Vineyard? They were welcomed into the church while a large enough shelter was found and high schoolers provided volunteer translation services?
I get that anti-immigration is a sacred cow here, but I will never understand being upset about people doing our worst jobs for under-market rates, thus increasing capital generated (which is usually thought of as a good thing in a capitalist society), all while paying sales tax. Have you seen the Social Security bill? Did you know twice as many people are on SS now than were in 2010? If anything, we need more people to come here and generate capital while paying into services they cannot benefit from.
Plus, America wouldn't exist without people going to another land and helping themselves to what was someone else's. And genociding a lot of those original someone elses. And then establishing treaties so the acquisition of land could seem legit, and breaking over 500 of them. So I don't really get the moral argument.
This is the funniest thing I have read in awhile. "The nefarious lifestyle that comes with" overstaying your VISA, the most common form of illegal immigration. Ooooh spooky. And, like, you know all the asylum seekers are here legally, right? They showed up and asked for asylum. That's a thing they are allowed to do. Most of the people you're mad about were victims of crimes.
And you did nothing to counter my points about how they help us to generate capital. A capitalist society needs capital. And we need workers. If anything, the immigration process should be much less stringent, so we can get more people paying taxes on their wages. It's not like we don't have enough jobs - there are plenty of jobs out there!
Also - it's not like the original nations of this land were able to legally defend their property or their life. We're sitting on over 500 broken treaties right now, despite the sixth article of our own Constitution! Until we square all of those away, we really have no moral right to tell other people not to come to land we shouldn't be controlling according to our own laws. It's just silly!
And then you end your rant about not wanting indigenous peoples of the Americas around by bringing up smallpox blankets for God knows what reason. I had to laugh and share. Thanks!
Goodbye! Keep enjoying living on someone else's land while being mad at other people wanting to live on said land as well!
