I had a wonderful Black History professor in community college who was from Haiti, and she taught me that the first person to die in the American Revolution was a Black man by the name of Crispus Attucks.
People of all races and colors helped to build America. America is for everyone.
And if we are going to have a Statue inviting the poor and the homeless to come here then we damn well better start helping the immigrants when they get here. We have 60,000 homeless people in Los Angeles alone, and we have refugees at the border waiting to come to America. We need Doctors, and Psychiatrists, and we need jobs for our people.
We can put people to work solving our supply chain issues, we can hire truck drivers, and port workers, etc, etc, etc.
We need to help our refugees, and our homeless, and our immigrants, we can help everyone at once.
Remember that land is only one thousand dollars per acre in Battle Mountain, Nevada, there is no reason to send everyone to California where land is expensive and where the average house in the OC costs over one million dollars.
Salute,
