There Is a Massive Problem with Immigration in America
The right-wingers are right about this, and I can't help but agree that the immigration impasse is destroying our nation.
I am in total agreement with the Trumpists, the MAGidiots, and all of the rest of the Foxified dummies whose obsession with immigration binds them up so tightly that three days’ worth of Metamucil can’t crack that discomfort. There is indeed a huge problem with immigration in the country. The problem is not what they seem to think it is. The problem is them!
Right-wingers love to whine incessantly about how illegal immigration is ruining the nation. America’s cities, they tell us, because of Democrats in cahoots with immigrants have been turned into cesspools of humanity. Crime, drugs, and overall lawlessness prevail, thus turning the interior of the nation into an unlivable version of Mad Max.
Here’s the problem with all of this ignorant fear-mongering. It’s just not true. Of all of the issues our nation faces today, illegal immigration is the least of them. Americans are eternally addicted to drugs with an appetite that few countries can stake a claim. The U.S. leads the world in deaths from drug abuse with 21.3 per 100,000. The country in second place is Canada with 8.3 — I wonder if Canada didn’t neighbor us, would drug use be so prevalent?
If we focus just on the use of drugs in the United States and the simple and tragic fact that with each passing year, more Americans die from drug abuse than the previous year — the death rate increased 0.7 percent year-on-year from 2023 to 2024. Drug abuse brings with it a whole wheelbarrow full of nasty side effects. Crime rises in communities struggling with high abuse rates. Unemployment increases as the drug-addicted are fired more frequently.
In cities where the demand is high, gang wars explode into the open, and given the nation’s other sickness, guns, innocent citizens are gunned down. Parks, parades, and town events quickly get turned into nightmarish scenes that resemble movie sets. The world was recently stunned by how the parade for Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs ended. A mass shooting kicked off, resulting in hundreds scrambling for cover while 22–15 kids — were shot and one killed.
America is a sick nation with unaffordable health care still for many despite the passing of Obamacare. Plagued with quality-of-life diseases like obesity at all ages, people are forced to drive more due to immobility issues — and no sidewalks — resulting in more traffic and more stress. Thanks to the rise of right-wing media, rightists are angry and convinced that lurking in the shadows are either government agents seeking to take their guns or immigrants wanting to rape them. Along come Trump and MAGidiots who refuse to govern but instead fan these flames of hysteria to radicalize their base further, further guaranteeing the strengthening of the fascist revolution from the right.
I could continue painting this picture for days, but I don’t need to. It’s there for all of you to see. It is a paint by the numbers. All you need do to see what their next steps will be for further empowering their race hate is brew up a a cup of your favorite tea and give it some thought.
None of the problems I listed above — the school shootings, the spousal abuse, the drug abuse, the race hate — are caused by illegal immigrants coming across the border to find better lives.
The ignorance, racism, and cowardice of conservatives in America cause the problems.
I agree that there is an immigration problem but why is all about Mexico? Go back three hundred years ago and the land the Americans are living on was Mexico . We live on the East coast where most Americans believe we never have seen an immigrant. Yet our towns have been invaded by Russians with criminal records for decades. Is it that most of our immigrants are white so they don’t count?
Our farms are worked by Cambodians . For over forty years our family has used immigrants to pick our crops. We work right along with them and in all those years we have never had one problem. Eight years ago a bunch of Republican assholes in our community put a stop to us bringing in immigrants we had to close our farm down our crops literally rotted in the fields
West coast employees over 2.7 million Mexicans that do not live here and travel back and forth to Mexico every season . I have personally been there on several farms on several occasions The Department of Agriculture two years ago stated that every morsel of food that Americans eat is processed by an immigrant at one point or another . There isn’t a restaurant in this country that doesn’t use immigrants. My final beef is are t we all immigrants? I also have to mention that the thousands of immigrants that I have met through out these years most of them can speak more then one language the education they have received usually from their local church is far superior than what my kids got from a public education. The immigrants can tell you more about America about our history they can tell you every president in order from memory on and on yet I could never find one college graduate that could name more then seven or eight presidents?
