        I have a distant family member that illegally entered the US with her young child and used a stolen SSN and identity early on to gain employment.

        Now that she’s got her green card, she’s fully in the “fuck everyone else, I got mine” camp. She cries about illegal immigrants and crime from people coming from her home country.

        It’s legitimately insane to watch someone absolutely stop giving a fuck because they’ve got fiscal safety and security because they broke all the same laws during a democratic administration that was helping Latino immigrants.

        Why can’t he just say “one of the good ones” and rip the band aid off.

      Yep. But he’s a republican politician - he still to be publicly racist even if it means insulting his partner’s heritage. That’s the job.
