No immigrant has taken your job. You were laid off by a capitalist who required cheap labor and took advantage of that immigrant to increase his profits, and nothing makes him happier than to hear you blame the immigrant and not him.

Immigrants are good for our country, our communities, and our economy. We must pass comprehensive, humane immigration reform to modernize the system and allow people who come to this country the ability to work here.

Biden has just done what Trump threatened to do: shut down the southern border by military means. This cold-hearted and cynical move is another repressive strategy in Biden’s failing presidential campaign! This desperate act of stealing from Trump’s mean-spirited policies reeks…
