Land of the free, nope. Land of the privileged few who exploit the rest.
So you wont mind a million refugees from the south americas who havent had any health tests no background checks no money no homes living rough in your neighbour hood yeah right socialists ae all the same until NIBY
Razor wire isn't a health check. Men with whips on horseback is not a security check.
Joe, our parents or grandparents were immigrants in search of a better life for their children. Now we have that better life is it a moral decision to close the gates against others seeking the same thing? Many of them injured or impoverished by the very nations they seek to join.
That's the problem with empires, they exploit many many people in order to enrich the few. There actually is no wealth that hasn't caused immense harm in its generation. We have to learn a better way.

All these illegal immigrants are getting welfare packages at the expense of the rest of the population.
Their own people are in desperate need of welfare not to mention many other social issues the country faces.
I'm afraid the US is beyond repair. Trump won't be enough to fix it either, it's a real mess over there.
I've got a friend who has left the US and come here to get away from the dramas over there. He has applied for NZ residency and he tells me the only solution to fix that country is to nuke it and start over. That's pretty sad.
I have friends too who applied to come here and were turned down. They have immigrated elsewhere.
They weren't wealthy enough, or desperate enough to come here, it seems, but fortunately they had the resources to start well in other places.
Even our immigration policies need work.
