The events of the last couple of days have shown me that many ‘nice’, not Republican people want to see where on the pecking order they can place immigrants. Ideally below them as ‘natives’. If we are desperate enough they’ll be happy to toss us a bone. But if we make more money than they think we should, we shouldn’t be allowed to take ‘their place’. We shouldn’t be allowed to be ‘cheap labor’ either.
@skinnylatte I have been thinking about this lately - I am tired of fighting against ideas that feel true but are not. On a similar vein, twice in the past week, I have has conversations with random strangers on Chicago who insist that migrants are taking housing from real Americans. Our leaders care more about strangers than our homeless. It is "truthiness" and it is almost impossible to quash. I still keep telling the truth but I get tired of pushing that boulder up the hill.
