I love immigration. I loved it when it was people from Spain 30 or 40 years ago and I love it now from other countries, such as Morocco, China, Pakistan or Europe, both legal and illegal. I helped illegal immigrants with their paperwork to become legal immigrants. I do believe that the avalanche of ex-pats that decided to settle in Barcelona in the last 50-years has allowed Catalans to enjoy a more cosmopolitan environment. I even hired some of these ex-pats. I thought about twice per your request, and I'm afraid that with my support for Catalonia's self-determination rights I'm defending individual rights. Otherwise, I would become the first ethnic totalitarian on Earth who loved immigration and helped immigrants to settle. How do you like immigration yourself? I'm asking because the Head of the Partido Popular (Spanish central government) in Catalonia hates it [1], he is a declared xenophobe and such proneness to xenophobia often permeates to other supporters of Partido Popular and similar right-wing parties.

You "love" immigration, but you endorse the monolingual Catalan school, despite being the language of a minority of the citizens in the region. Great "democracy" example (democracy is not just "voting" -many dictatorships allowed to "vote" to cut rights-, is the rule of law and respecting people's rights). For your information, I do like immigration, and I'm in favor of trilingual school in the Catalan region of Spain (Spanish, Catalan, English), and the more immigration coming to Spain, the better for the country, that would mean that the economy is recovering and people is willing to bet for it. BTW, you can not judge an organization based on the opinions of one person (even if what you say about that person could be true, or not). Xenophobe examples by the Catalan nationalism are endless. I know the Catalan nationalism arguments, and I can dismount them one by one. So you're wasting your time with your propaganda on me.
