Sez who? Sez you, so you can work up some faux outrage. Obviously, since she’s brown and an immigrant, you’ve got nothing but loathing and contempt. It’s just a shame you can’t reckon two seemingly contradictory things at once: that she can be self-responsible in a bad situation and so much grist in a badly-thought-out mill. You do you, though.
I did not hear that we had been accused of being HHS of the world
Yes, if only there was some long-established tradition of welcoming immigrants to this country. Could've sworn I remembered “something something ‘A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame / Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name / Mother of Exiles,’ something something ‘The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. / Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, / I lift my lamp beside the golden door!’" Maybe that was from Planet of the Apes, though.

the intent of the article which was to make all of us feel guilty for something we did not do , had nothing to do with at all, have no control over nor condone or condemn
Imagine, for a moment, that this lady was white. You know, so you wouldn’t have a built-in reason for minding that she was breathing your air. Do you think you could follow this story, then, without thinking somebody is trying to make you feel guilty? That somebody is accusing you, personally, of doing what the system does to the lady in the piece? Suppose you might, possibly, be able to make out where there may be some shortcomings in the system that lady found herself in? The way her case was handled?
