We aren't talking about personal possession/property here we're talking about economic and political policies and there's a long history of closed borders and isolationist policies being weaker than open borders and free trade. The European Union for example allows free right of travel between nations and their unified economic policies made them an economic superpower in the same league as the US and China. Of course with all the right wing brainwashing in the US, I can understand why you've been trained to think mass deportation without due process and blaming the mere notion of sharing resources and helping each other is the equivalent of a home invasion robbery. Ya'll are suckers playing into the criminal racket that billionaires created to make you unwittingly hand over the wealthiest nation in the world, your nation, to them and losing all the benefits you've enjoyed as they get richer and richer at your expense.
Met a nice Iranian woman, a jeweler, on Monday. Funny thing, I told her how happy she is here and chatted about Iran and Shaw era business I worked on. I mentioned how happy that immigrants bring to our country drive, initiative, and cleverness. She agreed and then tossed in some FOXish comment about borders. Irony is lost on some but we were in her office to do business. Bob Wilson
How many times have you been there? How many times have you been there RECENTLY? Bonus Question? WHY did the former Libyan leader die with a piece of rebar shoved up his backside and WHOSE bombers drove him into the desert and filmed the event? (and WHO was our POTUS then?)
As a deep-tissue bodyworker, see the whole spectrum on my table (well, at least that chunk who can afford my rate ). Let's see... commonly treat Locals (Filipinx, Portuguese, Boricua, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Hawaiian, Tongan, Samoan and any mixtures thru who knows how many generations)... Black and White Americans and Britons, Brasileirx, Argentinians, Italians, Germans, Austrians... French, Jamaican, and Thai clients (think that's the gamut). Lived overseas serving in mil, so thankfully a teensy bit more cosmopolitan, for someone raised on a rock in the middle of the Pacific in '70s / '80s... Since here it's classically been >90%-minorities my whole childhood, racism was something 1) between minorities, since the wrong people can find any reason when it's least-effort... which it is, and 2) something whose broader strokes I'd learned about only thru TV, others of my gen on mainland lived... so only got my first real taste of global racial issues, in the military. But getting back to the OP post... agree on non-violently taking a stand against bigotry like that, in that way. Let the barber know you have his/her back. Koreans are some of the hardest-working business owners here... and still get racist crap thrown at them time-to-time, even in HI (and since good roads bring bad people... lots more unvarnished pieces of work are showing up to squat here and drop their deuces, like they do everywhere nowadays). An 'annyeonghaseyo, sajang-nim' greeting entering their workplace in US, if they're the proprietor... or just <name> ssaem or seonsaeng-nim if you know their name... and a 'gamsahamnida' when paying and leaving... makes a difference for recent Korean immigrants, under this administration, especially.
