A legit conversation my mother and I had at a grocery store while looking at avocados
Mom: Seriously, you build a wall and all the prices jump
Me: Yeah, because Avocados are only grown in the area of Mexico that they are fertile in due to the climate
Mom: (I shit you not) Are you sure about that?
Me: *Resisting the urge to facepalm myself* I’m sure
Well... The majority of avocados come from Mexico. There are also avocados from California and Florida, but it's costly to produce them, due to high water and labour prices. So she's not wrong.
My own grandfather is an immigrant. Some of my best battle buddies, too. If anybody hates them for putting in the time and effort to meet this great nation's immigration standards, I'd very much like to know.
By that logic, every time someone says “go back where you came from” to a non-white individual, they are careful to first ask for proof of a green card.
