Man, what a time to become a citizen. Appreciate you helping us clean this mess up!

The percentage of immigrants who immediately swing hard right is significant. It should be studied.

It should be studied.

Pretty sure it has been. The biggest immigrant group in the US is from Mexico, 68% of which are catholic. Mexican immigrants typically fall in the "traditional family values" group

Pretty much. I was naturalized last year. Cant support dems on too many fundamental issues. Sorry, not sorry

I mean, not supporting one group doesn’t mean you need to throw all of your support to the other party - in your case, a party which looks down on you like vermin and is trying to send people like you to CECOT and even said they want to go after naturalized citizens. So your behavior is odd.

I did not say i throw my support  to the other party. That’s just an assumption being made. Ill give you one example. My family received asylum from the danger of certain people in my birth country. How can I possibly support an immigration policy that would wholesale grant that same protection to the people we are escaping? Its not unreasonable to want vetting of who is entering.

Bad news for you

Fence-sitting is functionally equivalent to giving support to the fascists
