It’s easy to understand if you realize that America is essentially a corporation rather than a country, and that country is only representing its shareholders.

Since then, they have steadily dismantled institution after institution while telling people that immigration is the reason their lives are getting worse. It won’t be long before we lose access to good, free healthcare, safe and affordable education, and all the other qualities of life we’ve enjoyed for so long
Immigrant here! This is true.
Violence it is then.
