Opinion: I can't assimilate into Trump's America. Deport me!
Chicago Tribune ^ | May 14, 2018 | by Rex Huppke

Posted on 05/14/2018 1:37:35 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

I don’t think I have the skills to easily assimilate into Donald Trump’s America. And that can mean only one thing: I should be deported.

It was a difficult conclusion to reach, but after listening to White House Chief of Staff John Kelly’s recent comments on undocumented immigrants, I see no other path forward.

Maybe I should self-deport. That’s part of the hope, of course, that by making America inhospitable to outsiders, some will just leave.

But I’m not going to do that. You know us unassimilated legal residents. We’re notoriously lazy.

No, the government is going to have to deport me, and to help in that effort, I’ll outline the obstacles to my assimilation into Trump’s version of America.

1) My culture and my Catholic upbringing are incompatible with the the idea that mothers and their children seeking asylum should be separated from each other once they enter the country.

2) I do speak English, but not in a way that’s compatible with the current language used by this administration and its supporters.

3) Lastly, the country I come from taught me to understand history and recognize that things called “facts” are worth considering.

The idea that immigrants don’t learn English, don’t assimilate, don’t contribute, take jobs from American workers, and are more prone to be criminals has been knocked down by study after study after study and is in no way supported by data.

I am unable to overlook these things and embrace the idea that we are being invaded by menacing hordes of disreputable others.

Those three flaws disqualify me from becoming a member of modern American society under President Trump. And that makes me an unassimilated foreigner in America.

So please send me back to my home country.

Truth be told, I miss it terribly.

Okay Rex, how about the studies on ILLEGAL immigrants. Don't put legal immigrants in the same basket as the criminal invaders. Nice try, dumba$$.

This arse is not fit to wipe Mike Royko's butt. Royko was not only talented, he was funny. Here is a sample of Royko's talent.

Only by commingling legal and illegal immigrants. It is illegal immigrants who are facing deportation, not green-card holders.

This writer’s conception of America is one where you are COERCED to love and embrace homosexuality, SURRENDER your 2nd Amendment rights, be COMPELLED to undergo punitive taxation to pay for handouts to Democratic constituents, and INVITE all manners of persons of ill-will into our states, cities and homes. He has some nerve to talk about being forced to assimilate, when all he wants to do is create a very narrow America where progressives set all the rules and we grovel like loyal subjects.

Notice that this Pinhead talks about using facts yet fails to name the study after study after study after study that proves he’s correct. He’s just another line POS.

Deport yourself. Why should conservatives always foot the bill for communists?

Maybe you should have the teeth beaten out of your lying Democrat face, Rex.

It was enjoyable reading Rex's Twitter feed from election week, November 2016, with the sneering before the vote, and the constant soiling of his adult diapers after President Trump won.

Rex Huppke, thy new name is...Samsonite!
Stop yapping, pack your shi stuff up and leave. Nothing is stopping you.

Of course, we all know you're not going anywhere, but hey, it could happen.

I remember Mike Royko. Mike Royko was a classic. This guy is no Mike Royko.

Another week, another "OMG! Trump!" hair-on-fire screed by a smug little nobody. I haven't noticed much overtly different in my day to day life in the past year since Trump has been in office. No stormtroopers goosestepping down any streets, or anything like that. If Felonia Von Pantsuit would have won, we would have had stuff like that and more, with a *new & improved* 21st century-style NKVD at her beck and call.

If that were true, Spanish and other languages wouldn’t be required for so many jobs.
