    I had a Mexican coworker who is like this bitch. He described to me in detail how he illegally immigrated and crossed the borders. How his carrier straight left them in a shed for 2 days without food but eventually came back. How the desert felt on his back. How his older brother got caught and had to do the trip a second time.

    When he first told me this story, I cried. He was only 8 years old.

    Then Trump started getting popular… And dude jumped on that bandwagon. I reminded him about his struggles and I said what about the people that went through your journey. What about them?

    “I got my papers, fuck them immigrants”

    This was about the time I deleted Facebook and all social media.

    This sounds exactly like what a mexican american friend of mine said about mexican americans voting for trump hoping he’d crack down on immigration, which he said was basically an “i got mine” mentality.

        She is trying her very best to play the current right wing favorite song of “others bad” while being clearly less fair than any of her voters.

    Kate Garraway delivered that question perfectly.
