        Doesnt the word immigrant derive from the word migrate, which is typically done by ones own free will?

        I'm just surprised Ben Carson and Donald Trump haven't referred to slavery as that "Adopt an African Program" yet

        @djtrumpresident Just as the brilliant Betsy Devos claimed HBCUs were born from "choice". These people are despicable and inept.
