Anand Giridharadas: Lies about what people eat is a classic dehumanization tactic

I have worked along side immigrants since the age if 12. The adopted me as a second daughter. They protected me from any older adults that did not always have the best of intentions. As I grew to an adult I still had hard working immigrants cross my path. I admire their hard work, ethics and devotion to family. Anyone that does not see this has missed a great culture that has enhanced this country.

[@bryanx590]

Watch the Michel Moore movie Roger And Me. Its free on the internet, this will explain what is still going on. What MSNBC and the Democrats don`t understand is that the American Dream is not working for existing Americans. And Americans don`t appreciate funds and support are being spent on non-Americans. If an American is homeless but immigrants are getting any government assistance or even a plane ticket to the USA then that is not ok to us. You keep talking about the American dream for immigrants, well we Americans who can vote want those funds for us and we do not want competition from immigrants who come here and compete for the same pool of resources, this is not a problem for the rich people of America as they don`t compete against anyone else. This is why Trump is winning and might win again despite being Lucifer the father of lies. People who are born here White, Black, Etc, are hurting and we don`t want competition from the outside for housing, jobs, etc.

[@jessicamarkham-brink6009]

That is the thing I wish people would remember. Immigrants add to our country. They aren't taking away anyone else's dreams or opportunities. They bring skills and abilities to add to our society.

Please quit talking about successful and highly educated migrants; majority are medium and might even be hard-working struggling people whose English is so, so and that is okay.

We have 127 million more people in America since 1980. Government grows to support all of us. 40% more people needs more innovation, more intergration, more surprise. Let us do this with Kamala

All about balance. Protect the border, but also protect the dream.

Italian immigrants brought their recipes from the " old country". One of the best things that ever happened to this country. I don't have to go to Italy to get that food. I can actually get good versions of it near where I live.

I wish the media would DO THEIR JOBS and ask him what exactly is an infested country? What countries is he referring to as infested? Infested with what specifically?

Really great segment. Anand was a fantastic guest and had alot of insight. He should come on again.

[@TheAureliac]

Too bad Joe thinks that he is more insightful than Anand. Let the brilliant guest speak.

Of course the whole lie and aftermath of this ridiculous, most recent B.S. of the tRump/Vance team is deplorable. But I will add that when I watch Morning Joe, I wish Joe would learn to be more circumspect. He blab blab blabs and hardly lets his guests get their opinions out. We have to wait so long for Joe to rehash restate and regurgitate, as if his opinion is what we're waiting to hear. Sorry Joe, but Mika et al are much more succinct!

Sadly, I saw this dehumanization even as a small kid from the 70s/80s, but in my area of Iowa, it was the Chinese that ate alternative proteins, never true.
