@ikayikay9011 commented:

"You don't need a visa to stay in your own country. That alone is a blessing. Let's say good things about our country because in the worst case, you will come back to your country.

"It's not only NY but LA. The trains are not half empty but you can hear a pin drop. Today the same train has only 2 people onboard. I am on a train that is usually packed to the roof with people acting crazy. US is a ghost country. McDonald's is completely empty where employees are just sitting down waiting for customers. Something never heard "

@OTHomeDecorandRenovations indicated:

"We have to fix our country and stay there. We are contributing a lot through tax and other stuff like care living for old people to help these countries but they don't want us. Why don't we fix our country and stay there."
