Until the left and right both acknowledge the role they are playing in dividing America, we will stay divided and American values will continue to erode. Articles such as this, short on fact and strong on partisan attack and blame opinions, are part of the problem.
Quote:
"welcoming an unvetted third-world population into our country to dilute and displace native-born Americans."
Being "woke" which that article criticizes, would recognize that "native-born Americans" were subject to Manifest Destiny policy, rounded up and injected with small pox, other wise killed with those who survived forced onto reservations where their culture was stripped away.
Lets not pretend that any of us whose ancestors came here from foreign lands as immigrants, are "native-born Americans".
