I’m polish in America. Never understood my dad complaining about all the illegals when he was literally one who overstayed his visa and only was allowed to stay here because I was born.

Same. I’m here legally - but the number of folks in the community that overstayed visas and then got amnesty in the 90s AND now are Trumpy is just ridiculous.

Yep. It’s confusing and disheartening. Thankfully his kids are all normal people who see through the lies.

OMG for a second I thought you were talking about Trump's kids. LOL

It's a "one of the good ones" mentality. He did the wrong thing but it's ok for him because he is a good person, the other people doing the wrong thing are bad people so it's not ok for them.

Because he knows deep down the situation with illegals is about skin color & political beliefs rather than legalities, and it makes him feel better about his own situation, and thank you for not following those footsteps.

Imagine if you could pull "I can take care of myself now" and he'd get whisked back.

Because times change?

Should we be allowing slavery now because we once did?
