    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

      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.

          It’s had to increase several times over since the 80s, again because of global fucking warming.

            Weird. So, unlike even inflation, the plan was to never increase the money used to pay for services which did increase in cost?

    True, but migrants may severely hinder fema if they run out of them. Who do people think rebuilds the places natural disasters destroy? It’s cheap Mexican, Caribbean, and South American laborers

      Sir, this is a truth-free zone. We must all pretend that global warming is a shocking tragedy and not a self-inflicted comedy routine.

      Yeah! Let people die because the Americans who can vote in their gerrymandered districts “voted for ecological collapse!” Especially in those blue states where they elect politicians who want to do something to at least mitigate climate change.

      Millions of people deserve to die due to the actions of some of them! Especially the children who can’t vote! That’s only fair!

          Tampa is a city, thus urban, and many people there don’t own cars or have lawns.

          As far as meat eating, do tell us the name of the country that doesn’t have a significant number of meat eaters.

              I thought this was about your suggestions that FEMA should just allow all of these people to die. The poor, the homeless, the infirm, infants and children…

              I mean we could just speed up the process by opening camps and putting them inside. What do you think?

                  I see, so you want some sort of super-intensive spying system to figure out exactly who everyone voted for and then only give aid to ones who voted a certain way.

                  Sounds quite fascistic.

          You see here, I mean to enjoy the outdoors and maybe try to make an insignificant difference while you still have breath to whine with. That said, I agree with you, we fucked up, but should death be a reason to stop living?

          You come off that you’ve just learned of the world beyond and maybe on the younger side: don’t waste your time online, it is precious.

          Also if manicured grass is your reason for deserving death then really you may just be damaged
