I thought it was only the UK that has that problem.

True, good points. So if the immigrants are trying to cause xenophobia with the T-shirts, why would they want to do that, if I am understanding that correct?


They might be tone-deaf and hoping to pander. I don't imagine they intend to cause xenophobia, how would that help them?


Agrees with this pandering idea. ........

Well it seems that a lot more immigrants are coming over the border than usual lately. However, is it me or is it more than usual? If so, is it because the US is just wanting to help, or is no one this nice and giving, and there may be other agendas for it?

i do think the US almost has multiple agendas for all its actions . but is nice to think , that we are just being a nice country . it is almost manditory to be bi-lingual in parts of Texas and So Calif. Have seen extreme bias towards some middle class white smaller businessmen . Causes me to wonder about agendas

I think America does have a border crisis. Children are being dropped off at the border, yanked from the arms of their parents. There was one kid who was left behind by a group of kids.



The kids are being put into camps that look a lot like concentration camps.

Are a lot of Americans really hoping for those lower wage positions to be filled by other people though, when a lot of people in America may be having a hard time filling a job? Also, why do the democrats feel they need immigrants to get votes? What are they giving the immigrants that that they are not giving Americans who are already in the country?

Why would people from places that are often more socially conservative than the US be likely to vote for the party that isn't socially conservative? :scratch:

Well after the immigrants come in, what's to stop them from not voting for the President they want? Wouldn't a lot of them think well I'm American now, so I can vote for whoever I want now and no one can stop me?

One would think.

And if they're from socially conservative areas one would expect the socially conservative party to be more appealing.

You know, unless that party makes embracing xenophobia part of their platform.

Well my friend told me that Biden promised the immigrants free health care and free education if they are kept voted in government, but is this true, since I only have him saying that?

Generally speaking, blood identities are stronger than identities based on the religious or cultural, which in turn are stronger than economic/class identities.

Probably US imperialism making their own countries an unstable living hell.

Well if the purpose of letting in a lot of immigrants is to get more democratic votes, what is the government promising them that they will get, if they vote democrat?

Don’t project your own prejudices on all of humanity. To most people “blood identity” is not hugely important on a scale bigger than their immediate family. A lot of behaviors people assume are “racial” are really cultural.
