I expected to be downvoted by people who have never lived there so it’s fine if it happens but I hope at least a couple people read it and get what I’m saying.
Chicago is not a shit hole and it’s not being overrun by violent migrants but it IS having issues caused in part by the influx of migrants. But you can’t pin that on the migrants - they didn’t choose to be bussed up here. The city failed to address the problem in a meaningful way but it’s hard to even blame them. If there’s anyone who deserves the blame, it’s Greg Abbott’s.
Trump’s solution to the problem is awful. The cause of the problem is awful. The problem itself is exaggerated to a ridiculous level! But the problem does exist and pretending it doesn’t only makes it worse.
Hell, I’ve been downvoted, and even banned, for suggesting that America does indeed have an immigration problem and we have to talk about. Just because the GOP is amping it up for votes does not mean there’s no issue.
And here’s the kicker, I’ve always mentioned that it’s hell for the immigrants. There’s an on-and-kinda-off-again humanitarian crisis at the border.
So if liberals don’t want to hear about it, I’m going to point my finger and say they’re using these poor people as political footballs, just like the Republicans.
My wife is an immigrant, BTW, and not a citizen. Been here 5 years, still struggling to get her 10-year green card.
I completely agree with you. A lot of the Republican talking points are some really minor issues blown completely out of proportion - to the point that we on the other side of the aisle don’t want to admit that the root issue is even real in fear of legitimizing the whole thing. I’ve done it myself in the past and it’s embarrassing to look back on.
The sooner that we recognize it as a problem, the sooner we can collectively help solve it. And I’d MUCH prefer the left’s solution than the right’s
Goddamned right. Any given problem, recognize it as such or we can’t move.
