[quote=@SleepingSilence] [b]I already deleted the section of the post.[/b] <.< [/quote] Thank you, I appreciate the retraction. Even if it is somewhat undermined by: [quote=@SleepingSilence] [i]And yet, you're first post implies you've been here before yet have no previous history...[/i] [/quote] Moving on. [quote=@SleepingSilence] "I'm an immigrant non citizen. Sometimes this place is scary as fuck." This highly implies that you're admitting to be an illegal immigrant. Which I just...you don't WANT that to be a true statement. <.< [/quote] As I said before, I am a legal resident. [quote=@SleepingSilence] But assuming you're a legal immigrant [/quote] Assume not! I have a greencard, it has my name on it and everything! Does it make you feel any safer when people say they can't wait to get rid of all the f*#king immigrants? When you routinely get accused of stealing American jobs, when you get called a mail order bride, when people tell you you should go back to your own country, when people demand a ‘real american’, when your professional competence is questioned on account of your accent and on and on? When you see people capering around about travel bans? Not particularly. Most people will grudgingly admit your right to be here once you explain you have a greencard. Papers please Frauline. Is it the worst country in the world to be an immigrant? Clearly not, but that is hardly the point. America has been a scary place for immigrants, particularly in the past 18 months or so. You can argue statistics and distributions or whatever you want but I have had personal experience which I felt might contribute to the conversation. Maybe it's only anecdotal and all the assholes are concentrated in my area… *que all the excuses, exceptions and stipulations* [@The Harbinger of Ferocity] A massive and insanely intrusive series of checkpoints, the deployment of the national guard, why not just declare marshal law and have done?
