U.S. President Donald Trump said on March 2 that the U.S. should “spend less time worrying about Putin,” and instead focus on immigrants who engage in a range of alleged criminal behavior.

    My dad sent me an insane video about “migrant problems in Germany.” I live in Germany (as an immigrant, no less), and although almost every aspect of the video was incorrect, exaggerated, and distorted, it was plausible for an anglophone audience who don’t have direct experience with German culture.

    He honestly thought I was in more danger in (somewhat rural) Germany than in one of the 20 most dangerous cities in the US. I’ve had my lost wallet returned to me here, money still in place.

      I’ve had my lost wallet returned to me here, money still in place.

      This has happened to me when I lost my wallet in Pennsylvania as well

        Yes, it can happen anywhere (and a good relationship with your neighbors is the best way to improve your safety anywhere). There is an office in town hall for it here, though, which is pretty wild to me. An unknown number just called me and told me to come pick it up, and it wasn’t extortion!

        I still don’t know how they got my number. It was a prepaid phone and the number’s not in my wallet. If they wanted to cross reference my address registration they could, but that’s so much work.

        Same, but I’m in Indiana. They put it under my wiper blade. Ironically, I live in an area with a large immigrant population, so that may have had an influence on the fact that it was returned.

      I have had similar talks with extended family members that immigrated to the Netherlands, they complained how the country was ruined by immigrants…
