We/they came for opportunities, just like your white family likely did when it was all too cool to immigrate here in the early 1900's. Same shit different smell. Just now it's brown people coming in, instead of other whites.
You would have probably said they were colonialists and invaders, so what's different now, aside from the fact that colonialists doesn't fit since no technology or government is being brought or established? Not to mention that those people were coming legally through government channels and not taking advantage of a welfare state.
That deflection doesn't explain all the desperation to get into European countries either or what made America a place people would come for opportunity to begin with
Now here is where I do draw the line. I am for immigration, just legally though. We need to know whom i0s entering the country. But the way it is now, 100% is a problem I agree. And can clearly see the strain its putting on literally everyone. At the end of the day these are just people though, like you and me looking to just make it. Are all of them 100% good people? Fuck no....there are indeed bad apples 100%.
That's great but you're avoiding all the tough questions. Having brought "white fragility" into this - a hypocrisy because you're using a tribalistic mantra to criticize a tribalistic viewpoint - you still have yet to answer why it is that Europe and the USA are the places where this so-called "opportunity" that people are seeking exists. And don't tell me natural resources, South America is rich with natural resources as well but Hispanics would rather go north where they don't know the language than stay or go further south instead (and before you get pedantic yes I know there are different languages in South America but aside from the ancient ones they are very similar to each other vs. English which has some similar roots and uses almost the same alphabet but is otherwise quite different)
