These people all deserve a chance to be vetted and welcomed if they qualify for asylum. This I've got mine, fuck you, stuff is for the birds.

political conceit buffoonery has overcomplicated what should be a simple straightforward process
immigration or migration shouldn't be much more complicated than moving (screen for disease and criminal background should be easy enough)
and when someone gets aggressive against peaceful peeps, they aren't serious about a legitimate solution

 Unfortunately, very few will qualify for asylum. Citing a better life and work opportunities is a guaranteed no. The need for wholesale immigration reform cries out to us.
 
Sad we are no longer give us your huddled masses...While these bastids fund wars, spending millions daily, instead of giving poor people a chance to better themselves and most times better America as well.{#War}I know I'm preaching to the choir but it does piss me off..

i saw on tv that there are a lot of peeps at our border waiting to come into the US and make a life here
some of them probably made that journey at great risk/peril
obviously they think that their quality of life is going to improve
maybe liberal democracy is not that bad after all...

Thinkin' about it, this seeming 'need for an enemy'...

Hollywood aside, could it be labelled as pathological in a sense of being inherent nationally? 

Need of enemies........ bomb them............ & the like, I mean.


Needing an adversary, someone to feel better than, is part of the need of the ego to prop itself up.

If you don't feel the push to be better than someone else, what do you care what they wear/do/think/love?

The easily triggered adversarial thing is a sign that people don't feel secure enough in who they are, and besting someone else gives them a little better feeling. This can be a habit created in the sports world when young:
"Our team won!"

or "She's wearing an ugly dress!" "You don't know etiquette." "Your favorite band sucks/If you don't like this, then you're a moron." etc...
