alt Hacker NewsIs the rest of the world going to stop trying to immigrate here, though? ICE is still finding plenty of foreigners to detain and deport, who voluntarily set foot on US soil; there are still plenty of foreigners who are complaining about how hard it is to get a visa to work in the US where the pay or other conditions are better than where they live.
Indeed, the angrier the rest of the world is about the US, the more US citizens have to worry that that foreigners attempting to immigrate here for the long-term have a plan involving exercising influence on US politics from their position inside the country, in order to punish existing US citizens.

i find it amusing how you shoehorned US immigration issues/conspiracy into the above conversation

This is indeed a valid concern for immigrants like Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and Rupert Murdoch. They’ve all had a significant deleterious effect on the US.
For the average immigrant just trying to live their life, it’sa much less valid concern. You could equally point the finger at the millions of natural-born US citizens who believe that the US is a “Christian nation”, who are well organized, and are trying to change the laws in that direction.

I am not aware of any, but I would love to hear any and all plans to punish US citizens.
