They didn't want to actually spend time with anyone and have actual human to human interactions. They just wanted to be a false advocate for them. A little piece of that is still with me. If you want to help immigrants who are fleeing a horrible life situation, then I think that's great! I really do. But if all you want is a political platform, and don't really want to help, and are furthermore actually upset when they arrive on your own doorstep, then please shut the hell up and please go away.
