- Undocumented immigrants are not taking up ALL the jobs (not the ones you want anyway)
- Undocumented immigrants are still paying taxes
- Undocumented immigrants aren’t taking the easy way out by remaining undocumented
Undocumented immigrants are scapegoats. It’s that simple. They’re another scapegoat being used by the failing capitalist system that’s banking on people’s racism and ignorance to keep people from seeing what the real problem is: capitalism.

If you have to treat me differently because you heard I’m a feminist, you subconsciously realize that there is something wrong with your normal behavior.

(via pink-lips-red) This is so true for a whole assortment of things but I’ve never been able to put it into words. Like when people find out I’m queer and they suddenly act less homophobic. I have relatives who magically stop showing their racist tendencies around people of color. Just because you don’t display your prejudice around the people you’re prejudiced against doesn’t make you a good person - it still means you’re shitty, but also extra shitty because you realize your behavior is offensive and you only display it around people who won’t be immediately harmed.

Concentration of wealth leads to concentration of political power, which leads to public policies that increase the concentration of wealth. I think it is a mistake to expect a President—any President—to correct the imbalance of political and economic power. This is a cycle that will continue until we the people organize to stop it, as was done in the New Deal era and earlier periods of American history.
