Gotta love some good ol' cognitive dissonance though. Wonder if she just purged this thought or it still slips back in, make her question her worldview. Probably being too optimistic about this but I think I need a little hope about now.

Man, this is remarkable for the obvious reasons — but I’m also just deeply professionally jealous of getting that quote

Every time I see pro or con immigration discussions, I think about my immigrant grandfather who nearly died on the Russian front serving the Tsar in WWI, and, for thanks, saw his village wiped out in a pogrom. I don't understand, and never will, children of immigrants not welcoming other immigrants.

my ultimate paternal ancestor in the new world was a scottish soldier who decapitated his commanding officer with his sword and found himself needing a new place to call home. i bet most of us have at least one of these in the family tree. on my mom’s side there was one dude who buggered a heifer.

They are not well. Kenny was a Democrat. Had Jr not died, he would have run as a Democrat. The cult thinks that Elvis is alive. They want JFK Jr to be Trump's VP. (my head hurts and I am in Australia)

I had friends whose family were actually involved with the mafia and relocated because of it…it was scary AF and shameful for them. People like this don’t know what they’re talking about

Sure definitely honorable to murder someone for speaking to a woman you’re in a relationship with, that’s why he *escaped the country*

It's so fascinating that she clarified that it was an "honor killing," yet went out of her way to bash Muslims, since those are such a pervasive trope against Muslim people.

For me, she makes an interesting case for restricting Italian immigration in the late 1800's.

Amazing, horrific. I’m thinking it will help a small number of unreflective ppl change their views, but mostly signal to undecided ppl that they should ignore the arguments these people make.

Thinking back now, I would've asked her if she thought a Mexican immigrant who has not done anything should be allowed to cross the border illegally to make the double-standard even starker, but my brain had been so fried by her admission that I didn't. I could feel it sizzling.

Describing Little Italy as a parallel society ("Parallelgesellschaft" in Germany) would have made her think a little more, I guess. On the other hand I try to work out how the antisemitic violence of Arabic migrants relates to these former times. Will it simply go away with Americanisation?
