    No, I think he’s saying if you can’t afford to live here, you should die.

      There’s some lucrative career opportunities opening up in that field. The right candidate could go straight to the bottom!

    If America has failed to provide paths to success for it’s own citizen, it’s because the very successful have destroyed those paths, not because Americans have failed. The end of this thinking is America is inhabited only by very rich people and slaves, regardless of whether they are citizens or not. This thinking will kick out the tired, the poor, the huddled American masses yearning to be free that it created. Shapiro and co are absolutely incapable of compassion or empathy except in their own self interest.

    “If you’re tired, if you’re poor, if you’re among the huddled masses yearning to breathe free, please get the fuck out of here.”

    It’s wild that the “land of the free, home of the brave” let a bunch of incel basement dwelling grifter losers take over and tank the nation.

    They fucked up that country so bad, him and his allies, I kinda agree with him (it disgusts me to say that). You don’t want to go down with that sinking ship. Get the fuck out.

    Ben’s yarmulke game is on point like usual. Tiny, and the exact shade as his hair so that the anti-Semites in his target demographic won’t see it, but he’s still technically dressed the way his religion tells him to.

    He could of course, choose not to court the types of people that turn out to be antisemitic, but you know, that would involve not making everything worse.

            It’s both, depending on perspective. You emigrate from America to Zimbabwe according to other Americans. To Zimbabweans, you have immigrated to Zimbabwe from America.

          So in other words emigrating from (going away from) and immigrating to (coming in to), i.e. your initial comment is backwards.

          You got it right this time, but not in the original comment.

          Were you stoned when you typed it? Are you still stoned?

            Yeah, it’s why your country has plenty of immigrants, but you never seem to run into any of your emmigrants. Or for the linguistic reason i- as a prefix can mean into and e- as a prefix can mean out of in latin, coming from the Latin words in and ex meaning in and out

            English isn’t my first language, but can you even fix the prepositions to the verbs like that. Wouldn’t you have to define your frame of reference? I’d say it shifts with your perspective.

            Example: I’m in Homeyland and there are migrants, who are emigrating from the Faraway Islands and immigrating to Homeyland.

            When I’m in the Faraway Islands, I’d say the same people are emigrating to Homeyland. While Homeylanders coming here are immigrating from Homeyland.
