Please elaborate on what you mean by "had it like this". Simply acknowledging there is a humanitarian issue on the border isn't what gets you called a racist. It's how you talk about the people who need help that actually does make someone a racist. Like, when you say "they should just do it the way my ancestors did", well that's not possible because the system doesn't work that way and you're inferring that this makes them criminals breaking laws (which weren't prosecuted until 2004 as stated in an above comment). People willing to trek thousands of miles through dangerous land should be offered help if they come seeking it, not turned away at the gate and told "too bad so sad, should have come up here last century".

I never said it was a positive change. I just noted that it's directly impacting your industry and now you're seeing its effects. The same way immigrants aren't operating backyard tomato grows, they weren't operating independent weed farms, but are now being brought into the fold as corporate businesses run the show.

You're assuming that current immigrants have the same process of entry through time which is just ludicrous, just like your weird take on this issue and the weird interpretation of my comment. Immigration policy in the US is broken and we currently have the tightest borders we have ever had. I'm not sure what you're even going on about.

Also, please don't try to use the word 'simping' in a discussion on immigration reform, you sound like a child.

Ah yes, the old "you guys have to jump through arbitrary hoops and regulations because I imagine my ancestors did it too"

You do realize the anti-immigrant sentiment has been ongoing since America began right? There were the Irish, the Italians, the Catholics, Africans, central and south Americans, east Asian, etc. You sound like a fool claiming to know that because an immigrant is in Chicago they did it a certain way. Get real.
