I do not understand people who are anti-immigrant

These people, some of them anyway, sneak across a burning desert to come here and pick fruit or scrub semen off motel room walls for nickels and dimes. They give up their whole life, everything they've known, to travel across the globe to practically starve and to work their ass off for just a CHANCE at a better life. They immerse themselves, with little or no support, in a foreign world where they likely can barely understand or be understood, live in shitholes, count pennies, struggle, fight, etc. They are the exact opposite of wimps.

Are not these the very types of people we want here? Come on. Compare them to those who do nothing, try nothing, sit home, take the easy way out.

You often hear that America was built by immigrants, but 'built' is not, nor should it be, past tense.
