Pete Hegseth coming to Europe at a time of war and telling us, we have an immigrant problem, really reveals how little he understands about European economy.
In Denmark where I live, 12 percent of our GDP is created by foreign workers. If we said no thanks to that, we could not afford the impressive quality in our healthcare sector, our Ukraine aid, etc.
But the good news is, he will find out, because farms in the US have lost the foreign workers that were not white enough to the Trump regime.
Fun fact: Pete Hegseth is a foreigner in Europe …

but they were white #immigrants
all the noise over #immigration in the #USA is a dog whistle for #racism
proof:
the USA has fast tracked *white* immigrants from #SouthAfrica while they spend so much time hating in immigrants otherwise

@benroyce @Limnobotanik @jackpearse @randahl I suggest watching "It's a Wonderful Life" to get some perspective on this.
It *is* a great film but I feel that it is a treatise as to where Trumpist thinking on social classes and gender roles came from.
Almost all of the characters in the film are European immigrants with white faces.
Aside: the worst thing that could happen to the main characters wife (if he had never been born) would have been that she ended up as a spinster librarian.
