      You spend a lot of your life trying to get out of your bad situation. When you show up in the new place, it’s full of people like you, with the same skills. That’s how an immigrant gets hot on anti-immigration. They’re just in denial on the concentration camps, won’t happen to me, I’m a good person, I keep my head down. There’s a fine, perhaps even blurry line between selfishness and self-preservation. They chose poorly.

      Worst part, I don’t know that what’s going on changes their mind until it actually happens to them and theirs.
