If someone immigrates here they will by definition become your fellow countryman (and possibly your neighbor too, depending on where they end up). I guess we just fundamentally disagree on who's worth consideration in this equation. I want to see people succeed no matter where they come from.
- analognoise 2y agoWe have a greater interest in preventing instability here by ensuring that those already here can find stable employment that provides a good wage and stability. I care about the success of my countrymen more than I do random people from wherever. I want people to succeed - in their home countries. That's fine, let them do that. I'm also a fan of legal immigration - you come here by the book, throw on the jersey, you're on the team. That's fine too. If you don't do that though, I'm not only not a fan but those people shouldn't be here.
