    Better yet, let the migrants stay because they enrich our communities and are human beings just like you and me.

    We could also enforce our labor laws uniformly and allow everyone to come and stay here if they wish. Give the migrants normal wages, while removing the stick of ICE that allows employers to abuse their undocumented labor force. Employers love ICE because ICE becomes enforcers if the labor force starts to get uppity.

    You are scapegoating the wrong people. The real enemies are the people destroying our planet for illusory “profits” which won’t matter at all when the ecosystem collapses. Also, I don’t want a reply from a fucking fascist so don’t bother.

      How exactly do they “enrich” our communities?

      And you’re right, they are human beings. Human beings get to obey laws and follow processes. The animals don’t, but humans do.

        Perhaps if you weren’t so racist, you could actually meet overseas people and learn something.

        Here in Melbourne Australia, we’re heavily multicultural, and I’ve actually discovered these days I get along with them far better than multi-generation aussies.

        It sounds like you’ve been taking things for granted, and now trying to find a scapegoat.

          Also, I just looked this up. Melbourne is basically just White, Chinese, and Indian. That’s not exactly diverse. It’s kinda funny how wikipedia claims that Scottish and English are still different cultures at this point.
