We just have little patience for anyone that thinks immigrants are not worthy of living in this country. Let me tell you this, our homeless numbers are 100% higher than ANY European country I visited or lived in between 2006 and last June when I was there last. We have serious problems in this country with gun violence, homelessness, Corporate Welfare robbing the middle class by not paying a living wage, money running our politics and healthcare (!), and terrorism is so random worldwide we can't stop living our lives because of one lone wolf madman. Which reminds me, I didn't even mention mental healthcare lacking worldwide. We have a lot to learn and becoming isolationists in America is foolish and down right dangerous to all of us. We're better than that and we need to grow up and listen to other governments and countries that ARE doing it right and take notes. The only thing I want to make America do again is be open to new ideas and try them rather than doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.
