The reason this is relevant is because he has spent the better part of a year complaining about “illegal immigrants” who are “invading” the country. But an old video from 2013 resurfaced on Saturday that appears to show the billionaire admitting he was at one point building his small business in the country illegally, describing it as a “gray area.”
*Edit: typo
While not common, I unfortunately have some anecdotal evidence to the contrary: I was an illegal* in Texas for a month, and i ate quite a few babies* while there. Not only that, but I was the wrong* skin color too.
*: I was there as part of my job, on a tourist visa, which does allow for meetings and such. However, there were some last minute changes to the plan that involved some “proper” work that was originally scheduled for a different trip. Big nono.
*: Despite my dislike for chicken, I ate quite a few at company dinners.
*: I contracted a pretty bad sunburn while there.
These fascist-wannabe fucktards probably would make some impressive contortionist performances while bending over backwards to explain how I’m not the type of immigrant they’re scared of.
Oh, and for the “they’re bringing diseases”. Yup. I’ve had COVID twice. Both during business trips to the US.
The thing is, a lot of white people in the US are probably descendants of illegal immigration and they either dont know, or dont care. I know my family is. During the Irish potato famine we can my ancestors immigrated to Canada and illegally hopped the boarder into the US(they should’ve stayed in Canada, I could’ve been Canadian and have access to healthcare damnnit)
I know my ancestors aren’t the only ones who did that. People were desperate then, just like they are now.
I hate that this country has way too many bigoted hypocrites and too many talking heads that encourage them to believe bullshit lies.
