Jim | Entwining<p>If you think someone crossing the border without authorization makes them more likely to commit violent crimes once they're here, does that mean me getting a speeding ticket makes me more likely to mow down pedestrians on the sidewalk? <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/UndocumentedImmigrants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UndocumentedImmigrants</span></a></p>
Jim | Entwining<p>Some people say, "They don't call them illegals for no reason." That's exactly right. They don't call them "illegals" for no reason. They call them "illegals" to make them seem like criminals for doing what any decent and reasonable person would do, which is flee from violence or go in search of a job in order to support their families.<br><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/UndocumentedImmigrants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UndocumentedImmigrants</span></a></p>
Jim | Entwining<p>Our government officials are trying to paint immigrants as criminals, and they don't care if that image is associated with law-abiding people or schoolchildren or whomever. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/undocumentedimmigrants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>undocumentedimmigrants</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/immigrationraids" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>immigrationraids</span></a></p>
Jim | Entwining<p>In the US, we can always find money for enforcing, criminalizing, and terrorizing; but never for supporting, preventing, or maintaining. And so it goes with <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/UndocumentedImmigrants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UndocumentedImmigrants</span></a>.</p>
Jim | Entwining<p>When I speak up for <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/UndocumentedImmigrants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UndocumentedImmigrants</span></a>, I can't tell you how many times I've had someone respond, "Well, don't you lock the door to your house?" Man, there are no jobs inside my GD house!</p>
Jim | Entwining<p>Yesterday, I was fed up with all the lies that people are falling for about <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/UndocumentedImmigrants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UndocumentedImmigrants</span></a>. Today, I'm not saying I'm OK with the lies, but I'm willing to reengage with the people who believe them. I believe that part of my role as a white person who wants a more just world is to help other white working people see that their interests are actually aligned with undocumented immigrants and not with wealthy elites.</p>
Jim | Entwining<p>I've spent the past week online asking why people are concerned with <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/UndocumentedImmigrants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UndocumentedImmigrants</span></a> coming to or country and responding to those concerns because I believe we need to engage with people who have racist beliefs and help them come to new, fact-based and humane understandings. But for today, I'm just done. I don't want to hear one more word about how undocumented immigrants are bringing violence or taking our resources or jumping some artificially constructed line. I don't wanna hear it.</p>
Jim | Entwining<p>If you are a white person whose ancestors came to the US in the 1800s and are claiming that <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/UndocumentedImmigrants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UndocumentedImmigrants</span></a> are "cheating the system" because they didn't "follow the rules" like your family, I have some news for you: there essentially *were* no rules for people like your ancestors at the time they came. Your complaints of "unfairness" don't make sense.</p>
Jim | Entwining<p>American working people are not being hurt financially by <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/UndocumentedImmigrants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UndocumentedImmigrants</span></a>. We're being hurt by <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/WealthyElites" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WealthyElites</span></a> who refuse us the pay our labor deserves, who work to prevent guaranteed healthcare for all people, who deny us necessities in order to line their pockets.</p>
Jim | Entwining<p>The anti-undocumented immigrant <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/LakenRileyAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LakenRileyAct</span></a> penalizes <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/UndocumentedImmigrants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UndocumentedImmigrants</span></a> accused of minor crimes because of a murder committed by one undocumented immigrant. This is like one person with a speeding ticket subsequently getting into a fatal car crash causing all people with a speeding ticket to lose their licenses. It doesn't increase anyone's safety and penalizes regular people who are just trying to do the best the can by their families.</p>
Jim | Entwining<p>Demonizing immigrants is an easy way for the powerful to direct people's anger away from themselves. We shouldn't fall for it.

Jim | Entwining<p>I posted a video earlier this week asking people who are concerned about <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/UndocumentedImmigrants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UndocumentedImmigrants</span></a> what their biggest worry is, and those concerns fell into three categories: safety, finances, and fairness. All of these concerns have a legitimate basis, but like so much else they have been weaponized by wealthy elites for their own ends.</p>
Jim | Entwining<p>All emotions in response to <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/UndocumentedImmigrants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UndocumentedImmigrants</span></a> are valid. All responses to those emotions are not.</p>
Jim | Entwining<p>Honest question, thoughtful answers appreciated. If you're worried about <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/UndocumentedImmigrants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UndocumentedImmigrants</span></a> coming into this country, what are you worried they're going to do?</p>
Jim | Entwining<p>When an undocumented immigrant kills someone, all undocumented immigrants are suddenly to blame. That's who the wealthy elites in this country want you to blame for all your woes. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/LakenRileyAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LakenRileyAct</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/UndocumentedImmigrants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UndocumentedImmigrants</span></a></p>

Jim | Entwining<p>By fleeing here from their countries of origin, <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/UndocumentedImmigrants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UndocumentedImmigrants</span></a> may have done something illegal. By sending then back, we are doing something immoral. Between an illegal act and an immoral act, I know which side I want to be on.</p>
