It doesn’t really matter which countries you’re referring to, immigration is always a matter of conversation. Whether it’s okay to let people in, let them leave, how the process should be performed, etc.. But can I just say, I’m so tired of this conversation. It’s always the same things being said. One side screams ‘immigration is hurting us’. The other side screams ‘We should invite people in if they want to be here’. And I’m on the sidelines screaming ‘I’m trying to watch Dr. Who, shut the fuck up!’

I’m so exhausted with idiots. To be very clear, anyone who is anti-immigration is nothing more than a bigoted moron. I get it, you don’t like Mexicans. You’re angry that Salma Hayek looks to gorgeous but doesn’t sound the way you want her to. I understand your argument. But this isn’t about jobs or taxes or crime or whatever other excuses you can think of. This is simply about familiarity. You’re familiar with people looking or sounding or behaving a certain way and you don’t like being exposed change.

But you need to wrap your head around the fact that it’s going to happen regardless. Change sucks, trust me, I know. But what sucks more than change is standing around, stressing yourself and everybody else out because you refuse to accept inevitability. Somebody is trying to escape a dangerous situation, worse than the best horror directors could depict in a movie, and you’re standing there telling them to buck up because you don’t like having to choose a language on the ATM? Go fuck yourself.

The process of immigration is complicated, far more than it should be. As an American, I could move to Oregon or Oklahoma and chill out in the woods, build myself a little homestead and never tell anyone about it. Libertarians fought and continue to fight for that right. But instead of extending that right to anyone else, they hoard it. It’s a right for everyone to have… as long as the libertarians have approved of it.

How is it possible to say that the government tracking people is a horrifying overreach of a tyrannical system (which it is) unless they were born of a different (brown) nationality. Let’s be clear, these people aren’t fighting for stricter immigration tracking and vetting for Canada. If you haven’t put 2 and 2 together, let me do it for you: whether it’s intentional or not, this mentality is bred from racism.

The reason for the immigration doesn’t even matter. A parent trying to save their daughter from a forced life of intensive labor, drugs or prostitution is never something that should be turned away. A person trying to save them selves from tyranny or threat should never be turned away. A person simply wanting to try out a new experience in a new culture with new friends should never be turned away.

You can think whatever you want about a persons skin color or the culture of their home country, but some things are as simple as black and white and you are wrong. And you know it. That’s why you get so defensive and angry when I say that immigration isn’t a big deal. You’re wrong but you don’t want to admit it. Just admit it.

If an immigrant, legal or not, commits a crime in America, we can prosecute them in America. If your concern is about drugs, then I will request of you to subscribe until I post my article about drugs. In which case, you can see how wrong you are about that (just understand that you ARE wrong until that article is posted).

Be wrong if you want. But stop hurting other people because you’re too stubborn to be right. And please, for the love of all that is good in life, shut up about it. I’m trying to figure out how Tenent came back and how they’re going to prevent Donna from dying.
