Of course immigration is an issue. The issue is that people have the freedom of travel and nations are made up of nothing but groups of people united by a common misunderstanding of their history and a common dislike of their neighbors and immigrants are the lifeblood of a living growing culture.

So after 2.5 years of Israel unrelenting genocide in Gaza some stats.
Israelis and others killed Oct 7th - 1195
Hamas killed since - 12,000 approximately of the 30,000
Palestinian civilians killed - 71,000
Don't tell me this was a military operation, it was a genocide that continues today.

And they say there's no ethical way to profit of someone else's labor
read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000

In 2023 I calculated the media valued about 50 Palestinians' lives as equal to one Israeli's. But these days I guess it's less than 10,000 to one.
In Gaza, Israel has recovered its one remaining Israeli captive, Ran Gvili. It’s all over the news.
What’s not in the news is that more than 10,000 Palestinians remain unaccounted for and buried under tons of rubble.

Today, we pause to reflect on the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust and the millions more who were persecuted and displaced. Remembering the Holocaust calls on all of us to confront antisemitism wherever it appears and stand united against all forms of bigotry.

Assigning blame is useless unless the person you assign blame to is yourself, since you are the only person whose actions you can control. What did I do wrong? What can I do better the next time? That's the kind of questions that blame is even possibly useful for.

Six cowardly ICE agents held down Alex Pretti and killed him.
They killed one of our fellow Americans.
This is Donald Trump’s America.
The violence and intimidation ICE has brought to our communities must end now. And let me be clear: not a penny more for ICE.
