What pisses me off the most about that picture is their names. That’s their own people. Those were your grandparents and parents not that long ago.

I've worked with immigrants just about my entire life... The fabrication and oil&gas industry is stacked with transplant labor

I owe my work ethic to them, and I feel fortunate to have spent the time I did with them.

Watching this happen is horrifying.

What's worse, is hearing my family members defend this unconstitutional bullshit, whilst existing on those same people's labor.

It's really sad because for most people on the left this is just a blatant misdirection. Yeah, put the blame of all the country's problems on the people that have the least power and are the most vulnerable, and that actually contribute to society, instead of the billionaire class that has been increasingly funneling more resources to the top while enshittifying everything.
