    Dude, I understand your frustration.

    But these people just want to be safe and raise their kids without worrying that some neo-nazis are going to harm them or their kids for having the wrong race or creed.

    They aren’t necessarily affluent, though not poor either. Just middle-class progressive people that need to have both parents working to afford a house, car, groceries.

    Yes, I am sorry you got f-d by the medical costs. I really wish it were different.

      If they really cared about that, maybe they could have tried harder to prevent this from happening in their home country, yeah?

      That’s such a cop out. “I just want to raise my family in peace” but not enough to work to create a peaceful society for them. Americans are so god damned selfish and thoughtless about anyone’s future but their own.

        You have no idea what they did or did not do.

        You have no idea what they went through in the USA.

        Look, I get you. I come from a family that actively resisted the Nazi occupation with guns, smuggling and at great risk.

        And if it ever came to it, I would stay to fight. That’s just my nature.

        But it’s not for everyone.
