(6,974 posts)her people had been here *US* for hundreds of years. WHY should they come over here, low bid us, taking our jobs and just be given money? I'm not going to say the word that she and my other Mexican friends call undocumented immigrants. Problem is that the Dems response looks bad, mixed and muddled and the GQP is having a field day with it now and blaming Biden and calling him senile for something tRump/GQP are responsible for. Dems should explain that tRump kept those people here against their will and abused them and "lost" their children. Did they come here? Yes, but many I read wanted to go back to their home countries with their children. tRump and nazi miller's no tolerance law/rule had 3 year old's in court alone testifying. I never have really heard Dems say that the big fat cats hiring them like Tyson Chicken pay them low wages because they do jobs no one else will do, and I sure wouldn't do those jobs for almost free, with no bathroom breaks and in an unsafe environment where you can lose a hand fooling with chickens on a fast conveyor belt. I told a friend that and he told me You're half black right? I said yes, and he said that half, your people, helped build this country--They've picked enough cotton as it is. They were slaves who were hung and lynched, hello? Well, I couldn't correct him on that, he was right. I was on twitter earlier, but was too scared to go check black twitter. I can just imagine black twitter was lit tonight and will be until or if this situation is cleared up somehow, someway.
