I can eat sushi, pizza, samosas, kebab (kabobs, döner or shawarmas depending on your frame of reference), gyoza/pot stickers/tortellone/pasteczki (or whatever), noodles/ramen/spaghetti, knödeln/kroppkakor and so on and so on. Leaving lots of cultures unsaid.

I can enjoy music, cringy cultural movies (animated and not), fun cirque sessions (even without animals being endangered), go to festivals for various cultures, enjoin then in our cultures of scouting, mountaineering, hiking and share my love of enjoying nature.

I can drive electric cars, communicate on Internet forums, keep in touch with new friends as well as loved ones across the world.

I would be in a much poorer world without you all.

Your comment for me reads as every legal immigrant is getting deported by ICE, not some but all and as the US isn't the only country that has immigrantants, it reads as false but maybe I just can't read which wouldn't be surprising.

    Your comment for me reads as every legal immigrant is getting deported by ICE, not some but all

    It's a significant number of them so far and I see no signs of it slowing down. Perhaps the goal is to deport every legal immigrant? At any rate it's enough of them to expose the lie that MAGAts have been spouting for the last decade that they "have no problem with immigrants, they have a problem with illegal immigrants." Clearly that isn't the case.

    Besides even deporting just one LEGAL immigrant is one too many. Especially when they aren't just being deported, but being thrown in foreign prisons/ possible death camps.

    and as the US isn’t the only country that has immigrantants, it reads as false

    I'm still not sure what you are getting at, what does other countries having immigrants have to do with how we treat immigrants in the U.S.? Other countries also have authoritarian dictatorships, that doesn't mean we should have one here.
