You could not be more wrong about me being in any of those categories. I live in Italy, we've had an immigrant problem for at least 10 years now. I hear the stories, but I've never had to "deal" with them. I don't and never have lived in big cities, which is where THEY are mostly concentrated. The immigrants I've seen were always working and family people. And I would guess they make up the majority of immigrants.
What I'm focusing on is your use of language, which I think is important.
In my quote I said "if illegal immigrants are fucking things up and NO ONE IS STOPPING THEM, it's not their fault". Mabye I should've said "they're not the ones to blame".
A criminal is gonna do what he's gonna do, the problem is there is someone there who could stop them, who in fact is paid by us to stop criminals, but they're not doing it. Or at least catch them and throw them in a ditch somewehere.
I just think all this anger towards this one group of people, which I would simply call criminal scumbags, is mostly justified by them being of a different race, therefore irrational, considering your fellow americans are capable of doing exactly the same. Some of the most famous serial killers and psychos are from the States, born and raised. Those minimum wages you talk about, whose fault is that? The "aliens"? Didn't african american citizens tear down statues a couple years ago? Are they "aliens" too? Is inflation their fault? What about the covid restrictions which led to this mess? Do they own most of the land in the US?
Most of your points are easily applicable to most of your american politicians, governement employees, media employees, CEOs, celebrities, or citizens.
Drunk driving? Really? That's a specific "alien" behaviour?
I think you need to stop consuming whatever news you are consuming, it's making you paranoid. You said "pro-alien" AND "pro-immigrant" stance, so now even regular working immigrants are not ok?
I'm sorry you are tired of this, but if you allow yourself to feel nothing but hatred, you have been divided and conquered. All it takes is one trigger and you are ready to go to war with anyone you're being told to. I don't know you, but that's what it looks like to me. So this looks more like a personal issue than an objective one.
If you focus so much on one group you're gonna think EVERYTHING bad is a consequence of that group existing. This is lazy thinking at best, racist at worst.
