    I’m happier every single day I’m not American.

      I’m a newfoundlander. In some alternate history, if Newfoundland hadn’t joined Canada, I might have been American

        Why? The people trying to cross the border are the ones fleeing persecution or insanity. The people trying to leave aren’t what make this place a shit hole. They are probably actually people that might be fun to hang out with. Your statement comes off xenophobic and othering.

          They might just be happy every day that we’re not being invaded.
