And the legal way should be a quick background check at Ellis Island and then a welcome to their new country of residency. Fuck these quotas, fuck the lotto, fuck family-based immigration. Let the people in. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Soup@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago And, failing that, if the US doesn’t like all these refugees they should maybe not cancel USAID to help develop other nations and keep those people there! And maybe all those palestinian refugees wouldn’t have had to leave their homes without the US giving the IDF a bunch of weapons. The US loves to position itself as THE place to be while destabilizing as muchbof the world as possible and then bitches when people show up asking for somewhere safe to stay. So many of these people don’t want to have to leave their homes in the first damn place! permalink fedilink source parent
