Don't hold your breath for Trumpian WSE bullshit.

Here's some facts: https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/rising-border-encounters-in-2021
....by the end of 2021, as apprehensions hit levels not seen in 20 years and over 1.5 million people arrived at the border and crossed for the first time, Border Patrol agents carried out over 1,000,000 expulsions and deportations...

For nearly a 35-year period beginning in the mid-1970s, the Border Patrol routinely apprehended at least 1,000,000 migrants a year—primarily Mexican single adults—who were seeking a better life in the United States. Seasonal migration patterns led to spikes in apprehensions each spring. For example, from December 1999 to March 2000, apprehensions rose from 71,252 to 220,063. During each of these spikes, many apprehensions were of the same individuals crossing the border multiple times and being sent back to Mexico under a practice known as “voluntary returns.” During these years, patterns of “circular migration” led to many individuals crossing the border to work in the United States for a short period of time before returning home..

In fairness, basically 98% of Venezuelans immigrants have stayed in South America. Millions of Venezuelans live in places like Columbia. Stone's claim that they are all moving to First World countries is garbage.

Most Syrians are in Lebanon or Turkey. Most Afghanis are in Pakistan or Iran. I could go on and on.

Some people run far, but most people run as short a distance as they have to in order to be safe. An Afghani can many times find a similar culture, language, and even family members in Pakistan. They do not want to live in NYC. They certainly do not want to live whatever cesspool Stone lives in.

You are correct. I was merely citing those countries that have the highest refugees and indicating why.

But they do tend to stay in their own regions.

good lord, you are dense.......it is fact that there are tens of thousands of people immigrating from third world countries to the US compared to hundreds migrating from the US to third world countries yet you believe the opposite is true.....

I’d be dead if I held my breath every time I’ve asked a Trumper for a citation or to back up a fact.

The alt right appears to just post their prejudices, and then become upset that everyone does not just agree.

Why is modern immigration ALMOST ALWAYS one way? To the western world,.... meaning Europe, the United States, Australia, Canada, New Zealand. ALWAYS.

Furthermore.........If the United States is such an immoral racist country that is so horrific to minorities why is it exactly that so many from all over the world would do almost anything to get here? Is it that A....we are not such a racist country? Or B....the places that the immigrants come from are much MUCH worse then the United States because if they werent why would they ever come,...that would be stupid right?

Inquiring minds want to know these things....... ;)

Why were the Western countries such attractive places for the Jews to immigrate to from Germany and Poland? :dunno:

Mostly B, I believe. People are fleeing sectarian war, famine, genocide, economic collapse, ethnic cleansing, general extreme violence, and any other number of protracted hardships.

Try not to be so over-the-top on the “such an immoral racist country”. But, do recognize that racism still exists in this country. This forum alone should convince you of that.

The only systemic racism is against whites, specifically straight white males who are the only legally discriminated against group in the country.

If you really had an inquiring mind, you would already know the following:

- The U.S.A. has a VERY effective global PR program, which says we're not perfect, but we sure as hell are NOT as bad as the communist or the fascist.

- Given that this country has been instrumental in supporting dictatorships and oligarchies, people run from there to the places that DON'T have this type of gov't....places that state they are NOT like the people they support.

- Also, one must remember that many European countries have immigration from their former "colonies".

Newflash for ya, toodles....if you're feeling oppressed or short changed, that's because YOU were not lucky enough to be born into the wealthy/political class that run this joint. YOU voted for Trump...a trust funded, sociopathic con man with a history of shitting on people JUST LIKE YOU.

Last time I checked, Trump was white.

As was Bush, who gave tax breaks to the wealthy white folk....NOT TO YOU. He and his buddies in Congress also orchestrated a back-door draft for their bogus invasion/occupation of Iraq, and out sourced YOUR jobs to boot.

So you'd need a new definition of "racism" when the group being targeted is of the same race as the group discriminating against them. Good luck with that, as I smell smoke already coming from under your pointy hood. Carry on.

I’m as straight a white male as it gets. I don’t recall experiencing a single instance of discrimination in my life. In fact, I recognize it as just the opposite. It is an advantage not shared by most.

Perhaps what you have experienced is not discrimination, but some other failing on your part. Maybe it’s time for you to do some introspection.

Most people who lack empathy also lack the ability to self reflect. The two seem to go hand in hand, and Trumptards to a person do not have empathy. You can do the math from there.

We are all immigrants. There were no "Americans" here before 1776.
