Hopefully take some small solace in the fact that half the country is very pro-immigrant, coupled with the truth that most of the vitriol from the other half is economic rather than personal.
If rural America wasn't hemorrhaging livable jobs, then I daresay we'd see next to no anti-immigration sentiment.

- vaishaksuresh 10y agoImmigration in the US is broken on so many levels. I am afraid nothing will be done to resolve that. a personal example is the number of years it takes for someone from India/China to be legally a citizen is vastly different than other countries. I don't think a government that is so vehemently talking about american jobs and workers is going to care about the legal immigrants who are working here. I think it is unfair to the many many people who are paying taxes like citizens without the same rights and benefits.
