When my family fled from Switzerland in the 1600s and went to Germany, we had to pay extra tax there as "undesirables." This was after having our farms burned and being imprisoned in Switzerland for being "the other".
While you slander those who come from south of you, I could just as easily talk about the "cockroaches" from California who have "invaded" Cascadia, bringing with them an alien way of life and running up our cost of living.
Point being, while you are busy spreading your venomous bile, never forget that we are all immigrants from somewhere and that to someone we are "the other." Sooner we realize we are all human and we'd better all start working together, the sooner we might actually figure out sane immigration policies. Better move quick because Mother Nature is mad and there's a whole lot of places that aren't going to be fun to live in the next century.
