You were inaccurate on two counts, now three, points for correcting one:
1) I am not in the least unnerved and don’t appreciate your characterization as such,
2) not illegals,
3) transported is fine, repatriated still wrong. Means to be sent home, not good for just sent.
But I’m deducting your point for being needlessly insulting. Not sure what I did to deserve that.
And Ken apparently eats no meat nor vegetables since the “essential workers” who got food to his house during the pandemic definitely involved illegal workers. We know because their employers in the slaughterhouses and chicken stripping facilities who provided no PPE bet on which ones would die of C19. Ingrate.
Ken Burn's latest program on the Holocaust and US is very enlightening as to the reality and challenges of the past 100+ years of US 'immigration' policies.
Nativism is not new -- fear of jobs being usurped by new outsiders, be they Catholics (Irish & German 1840s), Chinese, Jewish/Eastern European, Mexico, on and on. Ghettos (or Reservations for Native American Indians) begat centers of crime and poverty. Immigration/migration concerns have certainly existed since beginning of (time) and certainly broadened starting in 1550's with European colonialism throughout the 'New World' - e.g. Australia (Botany Bay) became a penal colony because America's independence in 1776... the British couldn't dump their unwanted from their prison hulk ships on the Thames on American shores anymore...

It then reemerged in nativist attacks on Catholic immigration. It appeared in New York City politics as early as 1843 under the banner of the American Republican Party.

The name Know Nothing originated in the semi-secret organization of the party - when a member of the party was asked about his activities, he was supposed to say, "I know nothing" - and they supplemented their xenophobic views with populist appeals.
99% of the people claiming asylum in the United States have no valid case for an asylum claim. They're ECONOMIC migrants looking for a better life, not under much threat in their home countries. Except, of course, for the Venezuelan jailbirds, freed from prison and sent north, who would presumably be imprisoned again if they didn't leave.
The vast majority have no skills, no family, and just want to get to where Uncle Sugar gives away free stuff.

I’ll just go back to reading now.
Engagement sucks.

Sound familiar?
