Are you and Mr. Reynholm aware that the poor in the Philippines eat literal garbage from the trash just to survive. Surely by your argument trash isn't as bad as its popularly conceived given the preponderance of its consumption in many poor countries. Or could it be when someone is in the worst extreme a lesser yet still unpalatable bad becomes all of a sudden palatable and agreeable?

Thats not to say America is a trash country, although for a country of its size and power it most definitely is a joke, but when you consider the local alternative of living in a poor dilapidated country with gangs, corrupt dictatorships and a trash economy of course immigrated to America with all of its problems is desirable. That doesn't though negate the above problems America has, it just means its not as bad as the problems these migrants are fleeing from.

Two out of three ain't bad.
We have the gangs and a shiny new dictatorship that is working to trash the economy.
Still hard to see how being discriminated against by the evil white majority is better than wherever else in the world.

Please, I hate Biden, like crazy, but please don't ever compare the American gangs and Biden's corrupt presidency to the cartels in Latin America and the actual dictators in Latin America, its really hyperbolic to make such a comparison and it loses all credibility in a discussion. The cartels in Latin America are as brutal, barbaric and organized as ISIS; some cartel members are even former special operatives from their country's special forces, and they've infiltrated the police and other forms of government. As bad as Biden is no one is magically disappearing for criticizing Biden. In some corrupt countries people actually get imprisoned and disappear for criticizing their leaders.

American gangs here are literally a joke and wannabe gangsters compared to an elite gang empire like the cartels, it isn't even comparable.
