Comment on The USA prided itself on a nation of immigrant, heck even the Statue of Liberty says it. When did immigrants (US citizens from the old world) become anti immigrant and why?

  The English version is "I got mine, fuck you."

  Also applies to immigrant minorities who them vote conservative to keep other immigrants out.

    I keenly remember this Polish immigrant in Britain interviewed on TV who was in favor of Brexit very overtly so than no more people came.

  I think how generally “burning bridges” is used refers to not leaving yourself a way out. However in this case we’re talking about not leaving others a way in.

    Yeah, burning bridges refers to, like, telling all your coworkers to go fuck themselves when you leave a job.
