The opposing cutesy poem wouldn't be defaming immigrants!
It would be acknowledging a nation can't exist without borders, sovereignty matters, and unchecked migration is not universally good.
That so many commenters here are missing a key factor here (that the opposing view is presented as a disingenuous straw-man in the release notes) is quite illustrative of why it's not being seen as an issue.
- Nullabillity 3y ago> It would be acknowledging a nation can't exist without borders, So the EU and US are both monolithic blocks with no internal diversity, right? "Acknowledging" is an especially interesting choice of word here, as if presupposing that your misunderstanding of the world is inherently correct.
- twixfel 3y agoBorders are a relatively new concept and nations existed before borders so what you're saying is trivially false. The US was built on unchecked migration and it did pretty well out of it.
