Yesterday’s American dream was a job and a work ethic to make it like nowhere else. Today’s American dream is amnesty and handouts. Lib nutbags need all these votes so let me all in and distribute to red states.

THAT would be nice if that attitude was expressed for every immigrant fleeing persecution and seeking asylum in America. All other immigrants have something to offer America too if their skin color, culture or language isn't held against them and they're just given a fair chance.

Ready to be culturally enriched?

I don't agree, they are better off not in America

How about the Afghan Americans left behind? And don't give us this the US is staying in 'constant contact' with Americans left behind, because that means nothing to those that hide in fear for their lives over there.

this is terrible news

Biden left Americans behind in Afghanistan but brought 100K Afghans here. WTF!!!

Gen. Milley Calls Afghan Withdrawal ‘Strategic Failure’ in Heated Senate HearingGen. Mark Milley, the Pentagon’s top military officer, detailed decisions involving the U.S. exit from Afghanistan and defended two calls he had with his Chinese counterpart in the last days of the Trump administration. Strategically, the war the lost as soon as the Allies attempted to do nation building without understanding the culture or people of the region. The war was lost 18 yrs ago. He should be in jail. That war was lost the moment it started. Soldiers died, many innocent Afghanis died, and we wasted so much money we could have fixed every damn pothole in America forever.

Velshi: We can’t ignore Latino history simply because it makes America look badWe didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us,” is a common expression among LatinX Americans. And they are not wrong. The people we know as Hispanic or, more commonly now, Latino, Latina or LatinX, have been in America longer than there has been an America. There were Spanish-speaking people in Texas while it was a Spanish colony, then a Mexican province and when Texas was an independent country, prior to the Civil War. But in 1845, Texas joined the United States, and Mexicans – who had been citizens of the Texas Republic - became outsiders in their own land. White settlers from the rest of the United States, along with many immigrants from Europe, moved in and essentially started to take over. It could be the textbook definition of colonization except it probably wasn’t in the textbook you were reading in grade school. Having an accurate grasp on this country’s history is essential to our identity - especially for the black and brown people whose history is being ignored, simply because it makes America look bad. The Kenyan-Canadian perspective. 💁🏻‍♂️ 📺
