HN isn't Gawker. One or two people saying another person is racist isn't some group mob burying a poster. I agree that some people in other countries have a warped view of America based on movies and news. That being said I sugges

The author brings up things that a lot of people might not know such as whites generally over estimating the age of black youths. The problem is he then goes on to assume every negative experience with a white person is because he is black.

Prison break is the ultimate hack and underdog story. There are 800+ law enforcement officers, trained canines, and the national news media searching for 2, now 1 guy who has few resources except his brain and body. Not surprising they make

Except law enforcement in towns and cities cooperate while if a person does something in the US and leaves the victim may have very little recourse. Your comparison of open borders and and having free movement within a country is weak.

For most immigration isn't life or death. For most it is about moving up economically. But whose interest do you value more citizens or non citizens? There are about 200 countries/territories in the world. The isn't the only

So it hurts the "the very low end, among unskilled high-school dropouts." Maybe we should not be hurting these people. Not everyone with a bachalors degree is needed. There are plenty of Americans with bachalors that need work.
