The “Right” Way to Immigrate

The Right now is parroting ‘My Family came here the Right Way.’

They came here legally with papers and stuff.  They are legitimate Americans because they or their parents came here the right way.

How nice for them.  How privileged they are to have been granted the opportunity to have a better life.

This is America, a country that believes in doing things the Right way, and ignores things like the way the land was taken away from its original inhabitants, the Native Americans.  Too bad they didn’t think to ask the pilgrims for their paperwork.

America overlooks the way some people were brought here the Wrong way, as slaves aboard slave ships, and sold naked to the highest bidder to be forced to work the land.

So this is a continuation of doing things the Right way, the do as I say, not as I do way.

America the land of hypocrisy and Right wing intolerance, shaming the desperate people who come here to save their children because they came here without paperwork.  The reason you came here the Right way, and did not resort to desperate means, is because immigration law for the entire history of America restricted people by race to annual minimums so that Asian and black people would continue to be a minority.  If you are the Right kind of people, you get a Get out of Jail Free card. Welcome to America where we say all the Right things, but do as we please.
