You clearly want to allow everybody to come here, and you clearly don't approve of killing people for being gay. How do you resolve the issue of immigrants coming from places where the people have voted for killing those who are gay? Are these immigrants also to be welcomed, despite the fact that they will vote to enact similar policies here?
- Rotten194 8y agothere's no evidence that immigrants are more intolerant than the general public. most domestic terrorism against minorities is committed by people who are not (recent, obv if you go back far enough white people are immigrants too...) immigrants. and in my anecdotal experience as a trans person, i have never been harassed by someone who immigrated here, just by white-bread WASPy nazi types. I'm sure it happens, but so does tripping into the garbage disposal and losing a finger, it's really not common. And when it does happen, conservatives hype it up in their anti-immigration rhetoric even as they use their actual structural power to strip away my and other queer people's rights! Like Trump talking a big game about how much he wants to "protect LGBTs" from immigrants (implying immigrants can't be queer...) while under his administration documentation changes for trans people are getting harder to get, LGBT people were removed from the 2020 census... don't get me started.
