    There isn’t and shouldn’t be a party for immigrants. Once they are citizens they fall under an umbrella that should be supported by a party, but until they can vote and have made the commitment of citizenship, our government shouldn’t take their wants into account (besides obvious human decency and needs).

    Only in America do we concern ourselves with this. It should be made so good for citizens that people want to immigrate here and become citizens themselves. That is the only method I want to expend effort on to make immigrants lives better than they already are just by leaving their home country.

      Our government takes our wants into account? Does it even take our needs and decency into account? I know it at least considers how much GDP I contribute and whether I can become cannon fodder.

      Getting downvoted by people with no explanation so I’ll assume it’s people who just want to push a “both sides” narrative.
