While I think ICE sucks, I think a lot of people aren’t willing to admit that our immigration system, while f*cked, is still a lot easier than many other countries.

The immigration stuff is only really a problem if you are here illegally (unless you are just being harassed by ICE). If you’re legal it’s a great place to live comparatively.

i grew up with a lot of immigrant friends and their families took care of me when i was homeless. i learned that the main reason they chose to come to the us is because close proximity and their families. some people have family in the us that they want to be closer to. the us is a melting pot and there are so many immigrants here from all over, some people just want to be closer to their families.

No. It takes a while for global culture to catch up to what’s happening in America. Our perception, at least in impoverished places, is still that we’re the land of opportunity.
