So, lets use our great minds to discuss my favorite group of currently active currently appropriating bigots. The ones who want to build a wall.
None too fond of mexicans, not exactly convinced (that's putting their dismissiveness lightly) of their contributions to our society - but awfully fond of their labor and their culture, of the greatness that they have produced for america.
They want to step up the genteel racism they already do to mexicans. They thinks it's not enough. When a person say's hey, you're a racist trying to do genteel racism" they, to a man, pull the "aw shucks I don't know nothin bout no racism" -routine. Let's Call it Pulling a Sessions. Point out the racism..and they ask "what's racist about that?". They tell us about their rights, their freedoms. They tell us that people trying to say mean words at them are fascists robbing them of their rights and their freedoms...perhaps, even of their american greatness.
They want to make america great again. To take back their country. They dream of some time when america had more - forgetting, perhaps, that the mexicans were here..then, being productive as well. They certainly can't see any contribution that these illegals provide today. They're takers. Gaming our system. We already deprive them of due process and exploit them...but these guys, want us to do even -more. They want us to take them out of their homes - away from their families. Send them to camps, and deport them. Even the children get the useless taker flak..draining our social benefits. Even the -citizen- children are balled up into the group of foreign takers. Anchor babies.
So, what we have here is a situation in which a culture that is currently benefiting (in real -and- intangible terms) from another culture to whom they are openly hostile and exploitative. With whom they are in a distinctly powerful position to take what they want for what they want and discard the rest...even the people. A culture who's contributions they minimize, at every turn, in the rush to dehumanize them as others and criminals.
The question for the usual suspects being. Is this;
A. Not happening.
B. Unavoidable.
or
C. A good thing.
