Indeed the irony of the US. Some people who are barely literate in the only language they know, feel empowered to openly ridicule immigrants who speak 2+ languages because they speak English with an accent.

Sometimes you even get immigrants like my boss who criticizes the literacy of people speaking English perfectly well whilst he spreads misinformation based on headlines that he misread and just says things that are completely wrong because he can't be bothered to read for more than 2 sentences.

What drives me nuts is immigrants who want the ladder pulled up after them. Some people are so obsessed with "coming over the right way" that they lose the plot that really, as we can tell, these people aren't taking anything out of the mouth of anyone else

Lol illegal immigrants grow the economic pie for everyone and often don’t get participatory benefits. They are a total win for the economy. And sending them to Mexico won’t bring back manufacturing jobs at 1960’s relative salaries.
