Joe dirt, a Hispanic neighbor story.

[Brian37]

I think I missed something in that story. What does your neighbours building a driveway have to do with how migrants are treated? I don’t get the connection.

Fucks News and the likes of Tucker Carlson and Hannity, but especially Trump, if you went by their logic, migrants are dragging down the quality of life in America. 

We live in a nation where our OWN FBI has said that the biggest threat to our national security are not migrants, or Arab terrorism, but white nationalism.

I simply get pissed at the bigoted religious right. The Hispanic neighbors on both sides of my house have been nothing but good and decent. 

I get tired of the claims from the far right white, "They are criminals, they are taking our jobs."

Huh?

The GOP constantly vilifies migrants.

Ok, I’m still not getting it (probably my fault, I haven’t been sleeping well lately). You said the point of your story about the neighbours’ driveway was that you don’t like it when migrants are treated badly. I don’t get the connection.

Are your neighbours migrants? Have they been treated badly?

On an in person level, no. But on a political level the GOP does treat them like a cancer.  I live in a mostly white, but mixed neighborhood, rural, quiet, and low crime, I don't even remember any police reports in my 13 years living here. . But if one were to believe the GOP at the national scale, the fact minorities live next to me, must mean the same thing as blacks using the same bathrooms and water fountains. 

My neighbors have not been treated badly by me for sure. But I am quite sure when they are outside our neighborhood while at work, or shopping there are dirty looks and insults. I do worry about some white bigoted asshole reporting them to get them deported.
