I have actually lost friends over the whole immigration thing. I have no problem with immigrants and know that majority of our 'white families' (mine included) came over from Europe both legal and illegally. I know the American dream gets them here because they want better for their family. During the whole Syrian refugee ordeal someone I have known since I was 14 compared them to candy. He had a picture of a bowl of M&M's. It said "If I told you one of them was poisonous would you risk eating them?" I went off the fuckin wall. I yelled about how human beings are not fucking candy and how you don't leave other people to die just because you are scared of the damn terrorists. I mean I went off on a tangent. I am still on egg shell terms with my god mother over it. Other countries might be different because they are of their own heritage and they weren't literally built on immigrants.
Exactly! Even Hungarians were immigrants in the middle of Europe once. Even if it was more than a 1000 years ago...
