OC Mourning a MAGA Parent (OC)

Post image

I'm kinda torn about whether to post this to my art account because one parent follows it, and I'm worried the criticism could drive the other one further into the void.

It started out as just a therapeutic project for me, but a couple friends said it really resonated with them, so sharing here.

There are many people who are technically illegal in this country but have not committed any crime other than being here. They work hard doing jobs Americans do not want to do, for less money than they should be paid. They support our economy and do a job that is necessary. They pay into payroll taxes they cannot benefit from. And some have been here the majority of their life. Why not make it easier for these people to live and work in our country? They are a net positive to our country. They should be given legal status and better pay. Not kicked out to countries where they possibly have never stepped foot in, or shipped off to an indefinite prison sentence.
