Catsandbooks Just think how much we could help those people with that money instead of keeping them out and harming them. 2y
Texreader @Catsandbooks @Butterfinger When you think about the amount of money, it‘s “per mile“!!!!! Why?? 😭😡 2y
Chrissyreadit @Texreader greed! Economics seems to reflect that providing economic and social stability will change- Our own society can handle a legal pathway to citizenship, or work visa and opportunity that historically worked well for everyone- when I read about how seasonal workers could easily go home on off season they did- but worked as laborers temporarily for years. And it seemed a win win for everyone. Closing the borders seemed to make it harder 2y
Texreader @Chrissyreadit In this case I don‘t think it‘s greed because the system used to work for everyone‘s benefit (I‘ve read similar to you). Now everyone‘s looking for workers but can‘t find them. I fear it‘s racism. 2y
Chrissyreadit @Texreader I‘m sure racism is the root too- but my understanding of racism is it‘s also weaponized- if people are too busy being scared, hateful and fighting each other they are not paying attention to what else is happening. And I suspect there are many layers of many reasons. 2y
Chrissyreadit @Texreader I‘m sure you have more nuances to your thoughts I‘d appreciate hearing because you have experiences in other parts of the world and your part of the country and I‘ve only lived and traveled in the US. 2y
Texreader @Chrissyreadit I agree; a lot more plays into our policies than one or even two reasons. I can say that there‘s little racism I‘ve experienced here in San Antonio since minorities have been the largest percentage of the population for far longer than the rest of the country. But in other parts of Texas? Maybe not so open-minded. I can say racism is alive and well in other parts of the world I‘ve visited. 2y
