      It’s almost like it’s always been obvious that OF FUCKING COURSE migrants contribute to the economy. They can’t be “comin over ere takin all are jobs” without earning and spending money, after all. 😬

      But people in this country are so blinded by hate, they’ll happily vote to make their own lives worse, over and over again, as long as they feel like they’re taking something away from a brown person.

      Yay.
