I don't know about the 'always' thing... In the US, the Republicans have been solidly anti-immagramt for a while now. I think a few other countries have had a conservative anti-immagrant platform as well.
I think it's a fairly foolish and self-defeating position in the long term, but I'm not the one making those decisions.

- ADeerAppeared 3y ago"Anti-immigration" politics is a red-herring. Look at the UK post brexit. Immigration went up, by more than mainland europe. (And before the invasion of Ukraine) Even for the far-right political movements, immigration is too favourable to actually stop. They're populists who sell cheap lies rather than actual solutions. Trump's not going to deprive his rural farmer voting blocs nor his big corporate sponsors of their cheap labour. Europe's far-right is even more closely allied with farmers right now. The populists just virtue signal a bunch without doing anything about the problem.
