Excellent podcast, Amanda!

The people of America seem to have lost sight of the fact that they are immigrants themselves unless, as you stated, they are indigenous.

The Statue of Liberty stands, for all to see, and the message is clear: ALL ARE WELCOME HERE.

America is a melting pot of people from all over the world, from all walks of life, in every color of humanity.

To now say that they aren’t welcome is denying what we stand for in this nation.

Immigration (freedom, liberty) is good for everyone. It's unfortunate that doublespeak has led millions to associate immigration with what is really happening: destabilization. Immigration reform was always a possibility, but vote-hungry and bloodthirsty politicians are not here to solve our problems. They're here to benefit from our problems.

That’s what makes me so sad. If Americans just remembered the true ideals of America. It could actually be the greatest country

So true. Breaks my heart that this country isn't the place I thought it was when I was a child.
