    Default Ask people from the United States questions about the U.S. or Americans

    As several other threads have started about asking members questions about the country they are from, I want to do the same. Please submit any questions you may have about the U.S., what life is like here, or about Americans more generally...Thanks! I'm sure one (or more than one!) of us will answer questions that you ask.

    Do you think we'll ever be able to get rid of immigrants?

    Immigrants have always (well since the first Europeans came) been a part of the United States. Of course, the nature of immigration has changed A LOT. If there was motivation to block all immigration, it could mostly be stopped, but would take a while to build walls on the Canadian border, Mexican border, etc. Also, people can come legally on visas and overstay (that's about half of illegal immigrants here now).

    We could have closed the gates in 1790.

    Among law enforcement officers, there are well known issues of implicit bias (and no, it is not just whites who do this; African-American law enforcement officers do the exact same thing-evidence can be found for this). Also, police officers in the U.S. are generally trained to prioritize keeping themselves alive first, and this means (at least for some jurisdictions) responding very quickly and aggressively to any perceived threat. LEOs are taught to take down any thread as quickly as possible...This has largely been because of situations like Columbine and a variety of school shootings where police were not trained in the best methods to handle mass shootings, causing more people to die.

    I've gotten two misdemeanor citations in the past, one for public disturbance and another for reckless driving.

    The first was written up by a non-White police officer, the 2nd by a stupid White American pig. Luckily both were reduced to infractions after paying a hefty fine.

    Also the bitch superior court judge/former district attorney lives in the same neighborhood as a cousin of mine, if I had known that in high school I would have egged her house. hahah.
