From the perspective of a Black US citizen:

* Black US citizens work to reduce racism and anti-immigrant sentiment

* Non-white immigrant comes to the US, and immediately starts trying to increase racism and anti-immigrant sentiment ‍️

* Non-white immigrant successfully gets themselves deported

This is a story that has been told many times, and has been translated into Cuban Spanish, Mexican Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Iranian Farsi, and Indian English and Hindi. ‍️

Some folks expect Black folk to work just as hard to rescue people like this. For me, the answer is no.

Energy for empathy is not infinite. And there are Brazilian immigrants that didn't come here just to be racist, that are in just as much danger. My energy and resources go to them instead. ️️
