 It’s like how the right used to be against canceling them on some high moral ground until they realized how effective it is and how much the left wasn’t expecting it. This is war 
 They are not ready for a world where they don’t speak for a majority of Latino men 
 Imagine importing a bunch of hardworking Christian renegades who fled socialist countries and thinking they’ll support your policies because of their melanin 
 Latinos are high testosterone . That’s the key 
 They do work all day. They may be short AF but they’re not soft 
 Yup plus strong family vibes. They are an asset. Embrace America and the opportunities it provided them 
 I have never heard anyone rant as hard against illegal immigration as my friend who is a legal Mexican immigrant 
 It’s bc they get lumped in the same bucket . I’d be pissed too 
 Imagine there's people standing in long ass lines (several years on average to get a permanent residency), gambling years of their life and family future in a highly bureacratic and unpredictable process. And then someone cuts the line...

The legal immigration system is royally fucked up and has zero vision or aim. I suspect that its main point is to channel migrants towards the illegal crossings, money for cartels and cheap slave-like labor inside.

Overseeing it being dismantled would be my dream job. I've seen so many lifes harmed by that system ☠️ 
 Yeah our legal immigration system is a shit show for sure. It starts there. Gotta fix that too. 
 Luckily it was created by humans and thus it can be fixed by humans
