Yes - The problem is that the mindset is just backwards. The military metaphor is inverted. Immigrants are not the invasion, they are the reinforcements. I look at my students and they are all kinds of colors and shapes and accents, they are the ones that have risen to the top of the American youth cohort, and these will be the people leading whatever progress the country continues to make in the future.
(I know, this kind of talk just drives the MAGA further up the wall...)
