One of US's greatest strengths is that it isn't racist, and is open minded and empathetic -- compared to the rest of the world* -- and we give the benefit of the doubt when someone says, "I'm coming here because I am seeking asylum fleeing X because of Y abuse."
That benefit of the doubt ended up being taken advantage of when, not surprisingly, a lot of people around the world started to expand the definition of abuse, with the support and help of a highly profitable non-profit industry.
The result is Americans are now feeling hoodwinked, and there is a blow-back happening.
* You have no idea how racist a lot of the world is. Try going to Uganda and sorting through all the tribal issues.
@ChrisMartzWX In 2024, Johnson was primaried by very right wing Joshua Morott. Johnson won 85.8% to 14.2 for Joshua Morott. Mike Johnson brings home the mega bacon, and people vote for it.-Should I say MAGA bacon? Mike Johnson loves the pork, and gets the votes.
