I am an immigrant & I know how hard I worked to get here

This affects so many hard working people across this country

If I was still on an H1b visa what would I do right now(as it would have been time to renew)?

This is a country of Immigrants

Immigrants face discrimination on a daily basis in this country

now with a clear message of you do not belong this will only make things harder for every single person that trusted in the American Dream

>1/4 of the doctors in the US are immigrants

Immigrants are NOT stealing your jobs

Most often immigrants take the jobs that no one wants to do, even in medicine

Let that sink in

This president is systematically attacking vulnerable populations in this country.

Today it’s immigrants tomorrow it’s you

As an immigrant I bring with me a tapestry of experiences & diverse perspectives

I would not change anything

This is a country that should appreciate diversity

Every single one of you reading this thread is an immigrant or your ancestors were immigrants

(Unless your ancestors are part of the First Nations Indigenous peoples of the Americas)

So staying quiet & not speaking up against the anti immigrant rhetoric makes you complicit
