    Hi, I’m an immigrant.

    Fuck everyone who blames immigrants for everything. Fuck infrahumanisation.

      I love you, tho, bro. I know I have no more right to this land than anyone, as we are all guests on this spaceship.

      Btw if you haven’t already, watch gangs of new york. Us Americans are all the product of one immigrant or another. Doesn’t matter where they were from.

      Immigrants are awesome. I only know a few, but the ones I know from Iraq, Iran, Syria, El Salvador, Colombia, are all insanely productive. Their work ethic is next-level above my own, and I don’t consider myself particularly lazy even if my 2 jobs is less than my dad’s record of 5.

      Tech, service, trades, proserv; landed immigrants show us how to get shit done.

      Okay. Enough sucking up. I’m back to work.

      Child of an immigrant here. He was a professor. He created a department at his university that no one thought to create before that. He contributed to the education of an uncountable number of students. Quite a few of them wrote back to him over the years to tell him how much his classes meant to them.

      Fuck anti-immigrant assholes. My dad probably did more than most of them to make this country better.
