    It was also said that “oriental” immigrants couldn’t blend in which justified the Exclusion Acts. It was even said that the Irish couldn’t blend in.

    America has never been a homogenous society and each new group immigrants doesn’t just assimilate into a homogenous culture. The blending goes both ways which is why we celebrate St Patrick’s Day, drink Boba and eat tacos.

    That will be a huge problem in the future for many manufacturing, construction, and farming industries if only college degree white collar workers get the road to citizenship paved for them.

    I think we are already facing those problems, and they will continue to grow. It also impacts low-wage service sectors (hotels, restaurants), which have been hit especially hard. Not sure what it is now, but at the start of last year, restaurant labor was still 450,000 lower than pre-pandemic levels.

    I was looking for a post about a twelve year old murdered by two undocumented workers in Houston.

    Why don't you link articles directly?


    It's a weird aspect of right wing culture. They always share screenshots of headlines. My former peers I served with do it all the time on Facebook.

    Is it a tenant of right wing fascist ideology that this is how information should be spread?

    Because many people are not interested in seeking more truth but rather seeking more confirmation, I ignore 90% of tweets posted here due to their lack of value in being informed and accurate.

    Link https://www.thepublica.com/germany-...ives-longer-prison-sentence-than-the-rapists/
    https://www.dailywire.com/news/mult...ear-old-german-girl-only-one-gets-prison-time

    Five of the men were in possession of German passports, while the remainder were not citizens of Germany. Among those charged, none were of German heritage. The rapists were identified as a Pole, an Egyptian, a Libyan, a Kuwaiti, an Iranian, an Armenian, an Afghan, a Syrian, and a Montenegrin. The men had a team of 20 defense attorneys arguing their innocence.


    wtf...it's like they hosted the model UN for rapists at that park.

    ETA: The trial itself sounds nuttier.

    The shrink who testified talks about the perpetrators like abandoned strays in need of a good and working shelter.
