This is just a reminder that we could be saying: -“It’s patriotic to welcome new Americans.” -“Asylum seekers make good new neighbors.” -“As an American, I’m proud when people want to immigrate and join our nation.” We don’t have to do this border-security poppycock. Immigration is an American value

Migration is a human right

The majority of America's population consists of immigrants and descendents of immigrants. The pilgrims, even, were immigrants in their own right. We have had presidents of Irish descent, yes the "red faced drunken monkey men" native Americans loved to hate so much back in the 1800's. Hell, (cont)

I know I'm apparently a radical on the issue, and I know it makes me sound naive, but genuinely we have so much land why not bring in new folks who are excited about the prospect of living here?

It's right there on the Statue of Liberty.

I’m friends with a number of immigrants, and my partner’s parents are immigrants as well. Their presence in my life and in this country is a gift! Immigration is good and I’m honestly disgusted and exhausted by people saying otherwise.

-"Labor shortages worsen inflation and these people are willing and able to work. What the heck are we doing here?"

Indeed bsky.app/profile/greg...

Proud to be a first generation American who enlisted. We got potential, let's go baybeeee

In high school debate-thingy, I was always ticked immigration never came up, because I would've spent the entire time just quoting Emma Lazarus. If someone said "not an argument," I would've said "You're right. Because there doesn't need to be one. This is who we are." Immigration is patriotic.

I'm proud to be a motherfuckin American. My parents worked 14 years for me to be one. And I'm not some "I got mine" ladder-pulling loser. I want EVERYONE who wants to be an American to make it. We need lots of minds and hands from all over the world to work twds becoming a better place!
