[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t agree with the way MAGAs are approaching this as hunting down immigrants for sport, but there needs to be humane immigration reform. Plenty of people all over the world are in bad situations and would love to live in the US. Laws need to be respected. [/quote]

The US and mostly Western European countries have historically done real damage to countries in South America and Africa.   They are still living in impoverished unstable countries. Same with the Middle East with the Taliban in Afghanistan. Assad in Syria and now Israel working to exterminate a whole group of Palestinians.  People who have never known what it feels like to feel safe, to have a real home and a stable job.  They will do what they have to keep their families alive.   Most of these immigrants have a story to tell.  Not all but the stories are heartbreaking.

There was a picture of a Palestinian women holding a boy that might have been about 13 years old with tears brimming around his eyes.  I wondered how long before that profound sadness turns to anger and violence.   It will be justified but this boy and his peers, if they make it to adulthood, will have a hard time getting people to listen.   This will just be another denied holocaust and history books will not be kind to the US.

To OP, good job.  If we all do what we can, the small acts of kindness can change people’s lives for the better.  [/quote]

The silly romanticization is a bit much, not to mention totally ahistorical.

The people of South and Central America and Africa engaged in ongoing wars of conquest (and sometimes annihilation) long before Europeans or Americans had any meaningful impact whatsoever. And the history of the ME is arguably the bloodiest per cap in world history, even if one excludes all conflict involving extra-regional powers.

TLDR? You’re a fantastist.[/quote]
