Hearing right wingers say that "Dems go to the mat for these illegals .... and turn their backs on REAL 'Mericans!"
Does this have to be a zero-sum game? Because you help one group, the other group feels jealous?
And I ask you, which party has spent decades trying to aid the poor, protect us from consumer fraud, keep our air and water clean, fight for workers' rights, make sure everyone has affordable health care? It sure ain't the Republicans.
But they whine that they're not getting any special favors.
GAH!!!!

I was almost punched by one because I told him that you can't force someone to stand for the national anthem, he suddenly took it to make me as un patriotic. Same goes with this, they frame you as un-American because you support a very essential aspect of America, immigration.

The same ones who see Black Lives Matter activists asking for basic equality under the law as a threat to their own rights. It doesnt have to make logical sense to make them freak out. Ive spoken to one who I used to be good friends with before Trump.
I asked him simply why one group getting closer to the equality our country promises has to have any effect on his perception of his own rights which were never under attack. He couldnt respond and looked at me like I was stupid.
