    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.

          Yes, the proof I had a father is that I exist. You may feel that is bullshit if you like.

            Thank you for revealing this account that I need to block, FS. You’re a champ. I’ve checked their post history and it’s not the behaviour of someone who is well.

      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.

      Immigrants are awesome. I only know a few, but the ones I know from Iraq, Iran, Syria, El Salvador, Colombia, are all insanely productive. Their work ethic is next-level above my own, and I don’t consider myself particularly lazy even if my 2 jobs is less than my dad’s record of 5.

      Tech, service, trades, proserv; landed immigrants show us how to get shit done.

      Okay. Enough sucking up. I’m back to work.

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

      As a 10th 15th generation immigrant I agree.

        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.
