    Immigration absolutely helps the US economy, because it parasitically siphons all the skilled workers out of other countries that it underdevelops and hoards their labor for itself.

    People think remittances help underdeveloped countries, but labor is the superior of capital, losing that skilled labor is never worth the paltry sums that get sent back home. It's just another shape that imperialism takes.

    China xenophobic? I don’t think Biden knows what the word means. The oldest mosque outside of the Middle East is in China of all places built in 627 CE, and still standing.

    What happened to the mosques in Spain and Occupied Palestine? Turned into bars and chicken coops.

      I think Biden's definition of xenophobic here is "unwilling to sacrifice everything in a suicidal world war on the Pacific front"

    Yet Japan still bows down to their masters in DC. Can Japan for once wake up along with occupied Korea?

      There are a lot of people in South Korea that hates the US and Japan way more than the DPRK or China. There are still a strong anti-US sentiment in Okinawa and near US bases in Japan, these led to the 1960 and 1970 Anpo protests in Japan.

    I think "extremely ethnocentric" is a more fair description/criticism of Japan. Close to 98% of their population is ethnically homogeneous, so it kinda makes sense.

      If America hadn’t spent the last century destabilizing everything south of the Rio Grande for the crime of thinking they were sovereign nations there wouldn’t be a “flood” of economic and political refugees from central and South America.
