Why don’t you change your country’s behavior first?

It is interesting that you ask for sources and logic while relying heavily on a false equivalence. Using the specific geopolitical instability and porous borders of West Africa as a proxy for US immigration policy is a classic strawman. The administrative and security infrastructure of the US is not comparable to a region where groups like Boko Haram operate across vast, ungoverned territories, and suggesting the two situations are “objective” mirrors of one another ignores the vastly different historical and logistical realities at play. If we are going to apply actual logic to the concept of “harm to the country,” we have to look at the data regarding who truly threatens American safety. Historically, the most devastating attacks on US soil were carried out by individuals who entered the country legally, such as the 9/11 hijackers. Furthermore, the most pressing threats to domestic stability in recent years have come from within, including the January 6th insurrection and the violence seen in the streets of Minneapolis. Even the most prolific human trafficking and abuse networks, such as the Epstein case, operated entirely within the legal and elite structures of the country rather than through people walking through the bush. This suggests that “knowing who comes and goes” is a superficial fix for a much deeper, often homegrown, security issue. Finally, it is logically inconsistent to discuss a migration crisis without acknowledging the role the US plays in creating the “push factors” that drive it. The instability in the nations these immigrants are fleeing is frequently a direct byproduct of American drug consumption, which fuels the cartels, and decades of US meddling in the governments of the Western Hemisphere. From the 1954 Guatemalan coup to the long history of the School of the Americas, the US has often been the primary architect of the chaos it now attempts to border itself against. If you want to talk about objective problems, you have to start with the fact that these people are at the doorstep of the very nation that destabilized their own.
He also advocates for comprehensive immigration reform, probably because it wasn’t cool closing the door you and your ancestors used to get in.
It would also be like, legit the best if the US stopped fucking around with other nations, at the least the ones in latin America where most undocumented immigrants come from… likely because of the lack of stable governments over the last century has made those places difficult to live in.

Probably not only because these projects will take years to be built and will hopefully take less type to prevent the inevitable. Don’t worry about why I’m packing up and looking at flights out of the country though.
From people like you and I, yes. But as recent as last week my dem representative was voting for more ICE funding like the bitch he is. He has all of a sudden seen the light after this last murder.
I’m not referring to the response of people like you and I, I do believe that the majority of white folks aren’t racist, I’m referring to those in position of power, and even then I’m not even saying they are outright racist, but that they are certainly biased even if they are not aware of it.
Renee Good was on video, we all saw it too. I was honestly surprised with the reaction to this latest murder, I expected the same reaction we saw with her murder.
It seems to me that those in power only cared when the white guy died.

23·16 days agoThey have always voted for this, Trump is not even the first one. It boggles the mind how many immigrants were pro Trump, I’m an immigrant and I had to listen to these shit stains argue against their own best interest, my reply was always why haven’t they self deported yet.
These two actions aren’t mutually exclusive, you can do both. When people study this time period, do you want your country and leaders to be the ones who complied with an authoritarian government or the one that pushed back on it and helped bring about change?
Distract the fucker, get more people nationally against him, don’t target him directly if you qre too afraid, go after those that support him, don’t buy the shit they sell, don’t allow their services in your country. Unfortunately we are in this together whether we like it or not.
And this time, it’s not a kink.
Maybe I’ve lost hope in people, I didn’t mean to offend.
You would think but wasn’t it in Germany that people went out attacking migrants in response to an incident where migrants were the perpetrators?
All I’m saying is that you assume people will respond logically like yourself but in reality that’s rarely the case.
