I know because I was a xenophobe about twenty years ago. I thought that immigrants were lowering our standard of living.
Just this summer an immigrant that doesn't speak English said I was the only American he ever liked. (he said it to a third person who told me.)

(36,846 posts)Instead of picking blacks, mexicans, muslims and supporting people like Trump, we have to reach those people and get them to stop supporting the people who give tax breaks to the rich and shipping our jobs overseas.

(9,314 posts)Bernie Sanders was tremendously impressive as he answered Rachel's pointed questions regarding Trump and the smell of fascism in today's political air. If you missed this interview, try to access it on MSNBC's website when it is available.
