    Before you judge too harshly, remember that they can’t physically vote and probably don’t know as much about politics. It is very easy to fall into right-wing pipeline under these conditons.

    More importantly, them not being able to vote means they don’t effect you as much as some people want you to believe.

    A lot of democrats blamed immigrants for the 2024 election results and there was a tiktok trend of reporting the unrelated immigrant neighbors to ICE.

      No Democrats blamed illegal immigrants, if that’s what you mean. That just did not happen because it makes no sense.

      They DID blame the people who voted for Trump, even if they were from a community with a lot of immigration. Rightfully so.

      Naturalized citizens can vote. First generations can vote, and children mostly align with their parents’ beliefs.

      I am not anti-immigration. At all. I am against intolerance. I am against anyone who would abuse a country’s asylum system, because it will lead to end of such lifelines.

      I’m becoming more curious about whether there are biases in the type of person who chooses to immigrate (excluding refugees) to the US.
