The anti-immigrant stuff is so mind-numbingly and inexplicably bizarre to me. Why in the world would anyone care about the folks who are here working their asses off to make our country better, and to provide a better life for their families. The vitriol for criminals, I get (and share). Lock em up, deport em, whatever. Fuck em. But the folks who are here doing nothing other than working hard and minding their own….why the hate for them?
Just today at our house, I had a yard crew, a cleaning crew, a crew installing new hardwood floors, and a crew installing new carpet- not one single one of them spoke English as a primary language. The work they did, however, was spectacular. I don’t know their immigration status and I couldn't possibly care any less. They’re just good, hardworking people trying to make an honest living and doing jobs that Americans like me won’t touch with a ten-foot pole.
