>until you talk about legalizing more immigration
Maybe because people have been duped so much in the last 10+ years to know that the loaded statement of "more immigration" from the government only means legalizing more ILLEGAL immigration, driving them to hate all forms of immigration because the governments have proven themselves useless at enforcing border controls and depurations of those who brake the law.
That's the result that you get when you maliciously sweep ILLEGAL immigration under the same political banner used for legal immigration, as the liberal European governments have done, so you end up hurting the image of legal immigration as well but this is the fault of politicians, not the people whoa have suffered form illegal immigration and have next to no channels of changing this other than voting far right.
- amanaplanacanal 2y agoUmmm... At least in the US, they are absolutely not worried about law breaking at all. Look who they just elected president? "Law and order" is basically dead here.
- FirmwareBurner 2y agoDo you want the Orange Man to bring back all those prisoners he sent to EL Salvador? Would you like them in your neighborhood?
- amanaplanacanal 2y agoI just find it fascinating how some people are perfectly fine with rich criminals, but want to get rid of the poor criminals. It makes me wonder what their real motivations are.
- mantas 2y agoCrimes by random thugs is affecting day-to-day life much more than corrupt politicians stuffing their pockets with public money. Getting stabbed on the street vs somebody giving a government contract to a buddy? If I must choose, I’d rather take the later tbh.
- guappa 2y agoIs it? A thug might occasionally steal your wallet. Rich criminals make sure you will not get cure for whatever illness you will surely get as you get older.
- mantas 2y agoA thug may kill you and it won’t matter much what illness you’ll get at old age.
- guappa 2y agoA lightning might kill you as well while you're still in the crib. But not all these events have the same probability. Why do you worry more about the very unlikely events and not at all about the almost sure events?
- amanaplanacanal 2y agoYou are far more likely to be killed by a citizen than an illegal alien, and even that chance is tiny compared to an automobile death. You've been lied to by people trying to manipulate you for their own political power. Don't get suckered by then. They are not your friend.

When you use a list of tattoo elements to identify "Venezuelan gang members" and that list is also matched by the cheap options on the wall of any random tattoo shop, you tend to get a lot of false positives. Mr. Mota can absolutely stay in my neighborhood.
