I am an immigrant to US as well. I think US has a much smaller problem with immigrants, this is a huge county with growing population and lots of room to grow. Yet, I think some politicians are definitely exploiting the issue. For example Trump with his "They are eating our dogs and cats" and "Build the wall" :) The wall isn't really going to help the issue and the eating cats and dogs was definitely not true. But democrats are not any better with their extreme left policies of forcing gender propaganda in schools, paying people to incentivize them to make more babies instead of getting education and career, etc. Both political parties in US are basically working for the big corporations and nobody really gives a sh*t about the people.
On a more positive side I think this is the first time I beat you in Splinterlands :)
