With all of the immigration raids and immigration prison and detention, do you think that it is still impressive that immigrants are still choosing the U.S. over other countries?

Bad comparison, even with ice and bad treatment, it is still better than the country they are fleeing. It’s hard for to us to see because of propaganda

While I think ICE sucks, I think a lot of people aren’t willing to admit that our immigration system, while f*cked, is still a lot easier than many other countries.

The immigration stuff is only really a problem if you are here illegally (unless you are just being harassed by ICE). If you’re legal it’s a great place to live comparatively.

Are we talking about legal or illegal immigrants choosing America?

No. It takes a while for global culture to catch up to what’s happening in America. Our perception, at least in impoverished places, is still that we’re the land of opportunity.
