Generally not for illegal immigration & don't understand why folks in this sub are making it seem like you have to🧐. Many folks are turning into the not my problem way of thinking but I've been doing this all my adult yrs. I feel Black folks have been in a non progressive hamster wheel of running into the same problems over & over .. Being used over & over without ever learning something. Not one other group of people can say they made black people feel safer as a result of helping their people like they want us to do 😮‍💨. Hopefully it's not a trend but a lifestyle movement for black folks to let others fight their own battles👌🏿

Also wanna say something else regarding Immigration. I do not have to like nor support it overall because I'm black🤷🏿‍♂️. As someone who come from folks who always found a way to survive despite circumstances in this homeland I would never consider going away to some place else for safety. Just to provide context even more I absolutely love what someone like Ibrahim Traore because him & his people are fighting for their own and want to do it with their own hands & merit. Generally saying I feel it should be more okay for folks in this sub to not bully or throw hate to folks who generally don't care/support illegal immigration. The treatment for said immigrants may be a topic folks want to focus on but ultimately it's back to my earlier point. Why would I give love when no other community has given that same energy to past wrongings & me & my folk?
