If you're wise enough to visit this website, I figure you're wise enough to watch John Oliver every week…but just in case, here's his segment from last Sunday night about immigration. The most interesting thing about it is that he explains how it actually works and makes the point that the folks discussing it in the public arena — Mr. Trump, especially — don't know. Nor do they care.
There are people out there who simply hate the concept of foreigners coming to our land…and there are enough of these haters that some find it profitable, in terms of money and/or votes, to fan the flames of that hatred. So the whole process gets described, not the way it is but in a way to stir up that anger. Oliver's segment will change none of these minds but it's still nice to have around…
