    Hi, I’m an immigrant.

    Fuck everyone who blames immigrants for everything. Fuck infrahumanisation.

      Child of an immigrant here. He was a professor. He created a department at his university that no one thought to create before that. He contributed to the education of an uncountable number of students. Quite a few of them wrote back to him over the years to tell him how much his classes meant to them.

      Fuck anti-immigrant assholes. My dad probably did more than most of them to make this country better.

      Yeah. You’re just fucking people. Hell a lot of you are Americans too. I went to college with a woman who became a citizen in high school, and her being a Muslim lady born in Egypt doesn’t make her any less of an American. She took the damned test and her family worked hard to get her here same as most of the rest of us’s families.

      This anti immigrant bullshit is downright anti American.

        I don’t even fuck people, I’m asexual.

      Thanks for sharing the “infrahumanism” concept. I read up about it, and as a disabled person. it really struck a chord

        My grandpa was an immigrant and I ain’t never met anyone as American as him. Family left a war torn country and he proceeded to marry a blonde woman from Appalachia

      I love you, tho, bro. I know I have no more right to this land than anyone, as we are all guests on this spaceship.

      Btw if you haven’t already, watch gangs of new york. Us Americans are all the product of one immigrant or another. Doesn’t matter where they were from.
