@mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io This always gets me... America is one of the luckiest countries in the world in that millions of people want to come here and work. On average, every immigrant grows the economy and makes Americans richer. We can completely dodge the "demographic crisis" facing rich countries by just letting the people who want to come here in.
Are you a patriot who wants a strong and prosperous America? Then you better not be an anti-immigrant xenophobe.

@chasseur@hachyderm.io @mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io Modern American history just seems to be replete with folks only to happy to work and vote against their own interests. I'm Canadian, and just taking into account the Syrian refugees by themselves, we've seen many not only do well but start business that then go on and employ dozens of Canadians or more. Immigration is a win/win/win, but one has to actually want one's country to succeed no matter who's in government and that doesn't work for Conservatives.
