not sure if youve commented on the right post cuz your interpretation seemingly makes no sense. the article is not about hating immigrants, its about how absolutely dysfunctional and self-contradicting american policies are and how that affects americans as well as people trying to enter america.

in fact, the article makes it quite clear with

Conservative assertions about the issue, particularly those that painted immigration as an “invasion,” had failed to resonate with people on the border precisely because they knew better from living there.

that its people who dont deal with immigrants who seem to hate them the most (when it comes to republicans anyways). wonder if theres a word for that.

the article mentions multiple times that dealing with immigrants is not explicitly part of martinez's job, but due to the nature of his position, both in terms of work and in terms of geography, its something that he has become accustomed to doing anyways and because of this he has a lot of first hand experience interacting with them and the point of the article is that immigrants deserve compassion and that the system is hell bent on denying them that, ultimately only causing problems for the american side of the border too, whether intentionally;

Later, the border became ground zero for Trump’s anti-immigration efforts, which involved separating children from their parents and forcing Central American asylum-seekers to remain in Mexico until they were given a date to appear in U.S. immigration court. Neither of those efforts had a lasting impact on the number of people arriving at the border, but they forced more immigrants to be stuck on the Mexican side for longer periods of time — and disruptions on the Mexican side of the border almost always ripple into the U.S. side.

or not;

The Trump administration tore down some of them to build sections twice as high of the “big, beautiful wall” he promised voters. But Trump left office before completing the project. Biden then came in and immediately paused construction, pledging to not build “another foot” of wall. In Del Rio, that meant that workers left stacks of construction materials behind and gaps between the panels of fencing wide enough for tractor-trailers to drive through them.

something something the road to hell is paved with good intentions

looking at your comment history its tempting to think youre trolling seeing as how you think the IDF displacing hundreds of thousands of palestinians, killing thousands of children and hundreds of volunteers is palestine "playing the victim", but i digress

bro what are you on about. do you really think there were no equivalent problems back then weve since solved? i cant examplify because i was not alive at that time and im not read up enough but to me its obvious every time period will have their own challenges, and stop putting words in ppls mouths lol

source? plus "western wages" is a pretty broad range and doesnt really mean anything without context

high quality downloads also available on their bandcamp for free

mind supplying concrete examples? isnt judaism literally supposed to be the religion of peace in theory? to be clear im not a fan of religion either but im also not a fan of ignoring the real issues and saying "just read their scriptures" on the assumption that what you consider to be obvious signs of this supposed agenda is the universal interpretation

i may be misinterpreting your comment but do you imply religion is what? cuz colonialism is by insurmountable lengths the bigger culprit

this post inspired me to request a very needed deadline extension for the first time

Spotify's song/artist radio feature as well as looking at recent releases/charts for genres i like or albums i think look interesting on https://rateyourmusic.com/

Homework homework homework, then managing some flea market economics. Fun stuff (but unironically)

The knowledge that for as much bad stuff we get up to, humans can accomplish truly mindblowing things. I think about it a lot in the context of science/technology and knowing that much of the tech that I use daily and take for granted is tech that people couldn't even dream of just a couple decades ago. Excited to see what the future has in store on that front.
