    This is exactly the sentiment of Republicans here when migrants come to the US to seek a better life.

    Congrats on not being better than them, but just being somewhere else.

      migrants come to the US to seek a better life.

      Really depends on what part of the US they settle into. Some places are highly welcoming of immigrants, but some others are pretty much sundown towns.

      They’re seeking a better life because they have no choice.

      Americans are seeking escape from a vote result that some didn’t even participate in.

        People almost always have a choice, though it might not be a good one. It’s arrogant to assume you know better when they make that choice.

          No, they don’t, which is why they risk life to attempt it. Or the choice is do bad the risk is worth taking.

          It’s arrogant to assume

          Their option on choice is like that of people running from a vote result.

            Did you try reading the comment that I initially replied to? I don’t think the context can be any more clear. Let me know if you need me to put it all in one post for you with detailed explanations, but I really don’t think that is necessary.
