So much of this makes no sense. Immigrants are subject to bigotry everywhere. You are hopefully aware that during the WW2 a rather large number of people died because of this...yes, bigotry still exists in Europe (the US is vastly vastly vastly more tolerant than almost everywhere in Europe, the US was founded by people in Europe escaping bigotry and pogroms...most European nations are hostile to immigrants because they are largely homogeneous societies). Your last comment is worse. The US has a level of illegal immigration that is unlike anything that has occurred in modern societies (i.e. since nation states formed). That is why it is a problem. That isn't the fault of the US. If people somewhere else choose to break the law, the solution to that is not to change the law. US Law is made by US citizens (again, the only place in the world where someone would have this debate is the US). Likewise, the "war on drugs" is a function of domestic policy in other countries...how can you blame the US for not intervening in the domestic policy of Central American countries (given the history of this in the 1980s). Again, thankfully saner heads have prevailed recently and we don't have govts invading other countries on a whim. Also, in Europe we have people escaping a real war. A govt that is armed with chemical weapons and airplanes bombing the shit out of civilians. There is a high bar for refugee status...there is a reason why. Some people actually need help. Being poor and your country being a bad place to live is true in many places. If more people stayed where they are, and tried to make their countries better...maybe that would help?
