Citizen tourism is not a real concern; good grief why do people care about fringe issues that impacts no one instead of concentration of corporate power, consolidation of wealth, and decreasing rights for citizens?
- outside1234 4mo agoBecause the people in power don't believe those last things are problems, so they distract us with the former things which actually aren't problems that they present as problems.

- shimman 4mo agoAsk the person I'm replying to that used that phrase, it's mostly a racist dog whistle that is anti-immigrant.
- bumby 4mo agoWhat terminology would you prefer to describe that real dynamic then? I don’t know that you can hand wave it away when it’s a substantial portion of the real births. I’m not even claiming it’s a problem, just not something that should be superficially dismissed in a good faith discussion.
