How is this controversial? The USA has become the wealthiest and most influential country in the world because of centuries of immigration. Immigration is why almost all of us are here in this country right now. One of the most iconic monuments in the world is the Statue of Liberty...which is a universal symbol for freedom. The plaque on that Statue is a welcome for immigrants to have a better life here.
Immigration is straight up being attacked by many political influencers and people in the current Administration. Not illegal immigration, but immigration in and of itself. There is a very real push against immigration as a concept.
The quote you provided just talks about immigration. Based on how this country has benefitted from immigration, I would hope 98% of people in this country would agree that saying no to immigrants is against the 'American way'. The other 2% can 17 right off.
Correct, they probably shouldnt be upset.
Criticizing someone for saying something that a bunch of people shouldnt be upset about is odd. It seems like that criticism should be directed at the people who you say probably shouldnt be upset.
You definitely do like to reference this comment.
Jordan has said the comment was jokingly made to teammates. And the comment, if actually analyzed, shows Jordan is making his view known. Additionally, Jordan has said he wasnt comfortable weighing in on a campaign/issue he didnt know.
But sure- if you want to view the comment as genuine, then yep- Jordan prioritized shoe sales over supporting a Senate candidate who was trying to replace a proud and fierce Segregationist. Jordan chose to sit on the sidelines and not try to stop his home state from being represented by someone who was straight up racist.
Money over morals, right?
