who insist that people can't come here because "we're full" are also whining because their fast-food restaurants are drive-through only since the places can't find employees.

1. Thousands of immigrants at the Texas border willing to work minimum wage jobs.
2. Thousands of minimum wage jobs unable to be filled by americans not wanting to be paid minimum wage.

I guess there is no one solution to solve these two problems.

If we deport them, it has to be to a place where they'll do more good than harm.
Middle of the Pacific Ocean seems like a good spot.

since they think just like the Taliban anyway.

But they're such candy-asses that they'd be crapping their pants, and crying for their mommies within an hour of arrival.

I realized a few years ago that the country would be so much better off if we kept the immigrants (who actually are hardworking and grateful) and deported the useless, whiny, crybaby, entitled, mooching republicons.

That's all we hear from these petulant toddlers. Always screaming about not getting their way. Always whining about those other people getting too much. Always lying and pointing the finger at anyone else. They scam their own moms to get another $100. I'm sick to death of these useless, depraved brats. Fuck 'em!

Having taught many an immigrant over the past few decades, I will say that many I have known take the ideals of our Constitution seriously. They do not understand the disrespect and corruption of our ideals that is exhibited by the right.

I know of several who have gone on to take activist positions to work on keeping our democratic principles. Just talking with them is a refreshing experience.

And yes, it would be nice if we could exchange one for one--these self-defined "patriots" who think wearing a mask is a violation of their freedom would not be missed.

But as posted upthread, Covid is working on it.

like a natural fit, it is the same God and the Muslims do consider Jesus to be a teacher. Both religions claim to be religions of peace and love.
Maybe we should have required Afghanistan to accept 110K of our religious in exchange for the people who are leaving. Could someone make those arrangements? /s

They want to shape this country to their specifications because they don't want to start a brand new country. That would require learning how to write laws, learn how to govern, actually learn how to compromise sometimes because they don't know how to actually build a nation. So they try to live here and try to shape our society to fit them. They get first preference in everything, they get to talk any old way they want, blow up at "inferiors," etc., etc. And don't you dare try to shame them for anything. They definitely don['t want to be made to feel bad about themselves.
