I want you to find me one quote from a politician or media personality that has said something along the lines of "if you're a poor American. You should be deported" then I'll admit you have some grounds.
The āallegedā quote never mentioned deportations, that was just someone elseās interpretation. And who said the statement had to come from someone famous for it to be worthy of discussion, especially when there is evidence that this is the general attitude of a political movement.
But Iād be surprised is you havenāt heard āif you donāt like it leaveā in response to numerous complaints about the USA. Applying the statement to complaints about the economy is not a huge leap.
Telling someone to leave freely because it seems to serve in their best interest, is obviously far different than forcing someone to leave when they are simply poor. It's like not even close..
Again, reading comprehension. Iāve already said that I wasnāt engaging the other personās interpretation of the āallegedā quote. I never said nor even implied that I thought people were going to be forced to leave. From the beginning, Iāve said that āif you donāt like it leaveā is a common argument, even though CHOOSING to immigrate is not a financially viable option for the majority of Americans.
