[quote=Anonymous] I'm an African immigrant turned citizen , I think at the core of this issue is America's failure to teach  its true history to its citizens through a non revisionist lens . I don't care if I'm told I come from a shithole country ( if I'm told this in an insulting or perjorative way) . I have mentioned in another thread , not sure what happened to it , that the shithole comment in and of itself wasn't really problematic anymore than it was contradictory . Who else is supposed to immigrate? Your European ancestors were overwhelmingly piss poor, illiterate , diseased , hungry and deeply traumatized by the endless wars in which Europe was mired in by the time they reached the American shores . For those looking to get a temporary high from their smugness , xenophobia and barely disguised racism , know this , you're spitting on the graves of your own ancestors

Trump's  comments about bringing more immigrants from Norway should come as a surprise to exactly no one who pays attention to politics in this country . Republicans want to put draconian immigration laws to reverse the ongoing  tectonic demographic change that they perceive as hugely disadvantageous to them. When you're the de facto white nationalist party and you're seeing less and less of your core group and more and more of a group that you've chosen to write off for half a century , panic sets in [/quote]
