I think we should support those who have established family here or have come to the US as kids — yes. This is literally the aim of the programs Obama set into motion called DACA or DAPA. Do you have selective reading? Confused.

I just find it curious that your support for illegal immigrants conveniently only includes policies that would benefit your family.

Because the policies I support are the ones that resolve inhumane problems? Do I need to link an article depicting all the families that have been separated and caged like animals? Like I’m sorry but yes I’m selfish for supporting a policy that would have prevented my mother not getting caged up like an animal had she not been naturalized. And why exactly do you think that staying in a country for 30 years separated from your family and pretty much everyone you know except your daughter is such a trophy? My mom didn’t want to stay in the US — she stayed because she had me to support. And in theory, let’s say my mom was deported while she was undocumented — do you really think it would be humane to separate a family and force the child to go into a very much broken foster care system? Like what am I missing here? My story is one among COUNTLESS stories. There are kids who are undocumented who participate in the DACA program and join the army and contribute society. Why would we ever want to deport them? They’re fucking kids. DACA and DAPA were great immigration reform policies and I sincerely hope Biden is able to continue them.
I’m convinced this subreddit has suddenly been overrun by nasty, brain dead Republicans. All of the policies that I’ve seen people in support of are in align with Trump’s views — that’s fucking weird.
And it doesn’t surprise me that you’re anti-mask. I’m guessing your anti vax as well.
