not sure if youve commented on the right post cuz your interpretation seemingly makes no sense. the article is not about hating immigrants, its about how absolutely dysfunctional and self-contradicting american policies are and how that affects americans as well as people trying to enter america.

in fact, the article makes it quite clear with

Conservative assertions about the issue, particularly those that painted immigration as an “invasion,” had failed to resonate with people on the border precisely because they knew better from living there.

that its people who dont deal with immigrants who seem to hate them the most (when it comes to republicans anyways). wonder if theres a word for that.

the article mentions multiple times that dealing with immigrants is not explicitly part of martinez's job, but due to the nature of his position, both in terms of work and in terms of geography, its something that he has become accustomed to doing anyways and because of this he has a lot of first hand experience interacting with them and the point of the article is that immigrants deserve compassion and that the system is hell bent on denying them that, ultimately only causing problems for the american side of the border too, whether intentionally;

Later, the border became ground zero for Trump’s anti-immigration efforts, which involved separating children from their parents and forcing Central American asylum-seekers to remain in Mexico until they were given a date to appear in U.S. immigration court. Neither of those efforts had a lasting impact on the number of people arriving at the border, but they forced more immigrants to be stuck on the Mexican side for longer periods of time — and disruptions on the Mexican side of the border almost always ripple into the U.S. side.

or not;

The Trump administration tore down some of them to build sections twice as high of the “big, beautiful wall” he promised voters. But Trump left office before completing the project. Biden then came in and immediately paused construction, pledging to not build “another foot” of wall. In Del Rio, that meant that workers left stacks of construction materials behind and gaps between the panels of fencing wide enough for tractor-trailers to drive through them.

something something the road to hell is paved with good intentions

looking at your comment history its tempting to think youre trolling seeing as how you think the IDF displacing hundreds of thousands of palestinians, killing thousands of children and hundreds of volunteers is palestine "playing the victim", but i digress

source? plus "western wages" is a pretty broad range and doesnt really mean anything without context

the base template of the meme is maslows hierachy of needs with every entry replaced with "forehead kisses from x" but instead the triangle is a ternary diagram. very creative meme

pretty funny how different reactions ppl can have, when i was younger and thought i might be lucid dreaming my first thought would always be to try generating flame in my palm or some other anime move

secretarybirds are so cool

thats normal behaviour, pretty sure the bug part of that point is referring to the indefinite invisibility
