Least we remind ourselves our neighbors are not our enemies.

SS: We are not in an immigration crisis. We are in a corporate greed crisis. [There are less illegal immigrants](https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/07/22/what-we-know-about-unauthorized-immigrants-living-in-the-us/) today than there were in January 2019, and way less than we had in January 2006. We are being duped into blaming poor migrant workers when we should be pointing our fingers at the billionaires and soon to be trillionaires of America.

We’re a nation of immigrants. My Great-grandfather came to America during the Irish civil war in the 1920s hoping to save himself from bloodshed. And My Grandfather was adopted by Americans after being born in an Austrian Holocaust refugee camp in 1946. He was smuggled into America by being registered under a Canadian refugee program. He was an illegal immigrant until 17 when he had to get a social security card to volunteer for the Vietnam war. He would say he went to the SSA office and was out with a card in an hour.
