Immigration

We as a country have always been a country of immigrants. Yet in todays day and age we who used to be the ones entering this land of opportunity looking for a better have begun shunning others who only seek to do the same thing. This country has men like Ted Cruz, a Mexican-Canadian who has reinvented himself as an American white supremacist. In doing so he has pushed policies that would of made it impossible for his own family to enter and gain status in our country. We have become far too entitled in this land that is not even ours. We are all immigrants. My own family came from Switzerland to seek work and Russia to escape the persecution by Cossacks who were seeking out all Jews in the country. Now that being said we see a large amount of racism and discrimination towards the Mexican immigrants and much less so from ones from Europe or Canada. The issue of racism is one that we are still attempting to tackle and is deeply rooted in underlying racist sentiments so in order to successfully trump the issue, both battles must be won. What personal experiences do you have in relation to this issue?
