JD Vance calls mass migration 'theft', gets told Usha 'go back to India'

[Martin Eden]

44. My grandparents immigrated to the US from Europe to live the American Dream

As did so many millions who passed through Ellis Island. Were they all THIEVES?

What, exactly, IS the American Dream supposedly being stolen and thereby destroyed by the current wave of immigrants?

Working hard to build a better life for your family? The vast majorty of current immigrants check that box.

Embracing American freedoms, civil rights, and Constitutional rule of law? So many undertook a perilous journey to come here for those American values rejected by the cruel dictators in their native countries.

The allure of America, and what makes it truly great, is the IDEA that all people are equal under the law with inalienable human rights regardless of race or religion and that government is OF, BY, and FOR The People.

Coming here to LIVE the American Dream is not THEFT of the American Dream. On the contrary, people who LIVE and EMBRACE our highest ideals STRENGTHEN America.

Immigrants today are being persecuted not because they reject or damage what truly makes America great; they are being brutally torn from their communities and families because of their skin color and ethnicity. This includes those who have been following the path to legal status and citizenship.

Racial, tribal, and religious animosity are as old as human civilization. America has long struggled to cast off this old world ignorance and hatred. With progress and occasional setbacks, we have steadily bent the long arc of our moral universe towards justice.

The cruel wanna-be dictator and his hateful cabal are making every effort to bend it back. It is THEY, not immigrants, who are rejecting America's highest ideals and assaulting our Constitutional rule of law which is the foundation of the American Dream.

The struggle goes on. We not only must BELIEVE that We Shall Overcome; we must take an active role to MAKE IT HAPPEN.
