Call a taxidermist to stuff and mount the dog's owner?
As for the first sentence, xenophobic is framing the mindset -- not so much intended as a surrogate n-word. It represents that the motivations for supporting that unilaterally are rooted in othering an entire nation or race of people on the basis of a potentially bad few.
Every nation or race of people has at least a bad few. So you're basically saying let's throw the baby out with the bathwater and no immigrant willing to change cultures and try to thrive could ever offer anything to my country. Well, only if they're not from these four arbitrary countries as flavors of the month.
American demographics are in major decline now. People are getting older, working less, need more benefits, will tax the medical and entitlement systems. Citizens aren't having kids. And there aren't enough younger people willing to fill the gaps to do the work to support all these old people and pay their wage taxes to support it all.
And there's nothing about a Chinese passport that makes it toxic whereas a Vietnamese passport is perfectly acceptable. That makes sh*t all sense unless you've been programmed by performative alliances to be triggered by strawberry ice cream and not spumoni.
Call it the Eeny-Meeny-Miny-Moe Immigration Act.
As for the second sentence, I guess everyone should leave save for the Native Americans.
First Bolded: In this instance, there is A LOT more than a few.
Second bolded: I never said "no immigrant"...
For my second sentence: Here's a thought. Want a fast track to become a US citizen and get access to all their benefits? Join the military, take the oath and poof. There's a solution for you.
""What are the naturalization requirements for noncitizen service members? Generally, non-citizen service members wishing to naturalize must demonstrate 1) good moral character; 2) knowledge of the English language; 3) knowledge of the U.S. government and history; and 4) attachment to the U.S. and allegiance to the U.S. Constitution.""
Plenty of people in boot camp joined and said their oath...we all stood there at attention while the CO did it. Best day of their lives, they were proud to do it. Great experience to see first hand.

I think most vets are just a bunch of country bumpkins who were to dumb to do anything else with their lives and became part of the war machine in order to afford the Chevy truck they always wanted. Not sure why they’re so revered
Sad you'll never know. You want to see REAL diversity, join the military and you'll see people from everywhere.
Can't tell you how many people in my enlisted class came from poverty, left abusive homes, couldn't afford food...nothing to do with intelligence though I'd see how you might draw that conclusion. Sure, there are plenty that fit your profile but it doesn't scratch the surface.
Plenty country bumpkins I know joined Army/Marines - got out after 6 or so...got their degree, joined Secret Service and now secure your lil ol' JB/DJT/BO/GHW.
And yes, plenty get out, get their big pickups and ride off into the sunset and are absolutely fine living in the middle of nowhere WV/TN/GA...etc.

FYI - younger enlisted tend to splurge on muscle cars (i.e. Camaro, Challengers, etc). The ones with trucks usually had them before they joined and were smart enough to keep them for when they get out.
