We only tried to hold back the inevitable tide in the 1920s, and now people who grew up in a white country are wondering what happened again to their white country. Immigration restriction laws were always racist. I documented that in a previous post. Again, as I keep reminding you, no, the immigration issue doesn't have to be partisan. That's why Bush and Obama agreed on a reasonable approach, and why a bipartisan group in the senate proposed a reasonable law and passed it. But the fanatical right-wing idiots in the Tea Party House blocked it. It proved to be the best issue for Trumpty Dumpty to run on. "They're not sending their best. They're bringing drugs, their bringing crime; they're rapists..." Bullshit.
More immigrants will not make us a shithole country. Sure, we need to cut down on population growth, in a humane way by increasing womens' rights and prosperity in all countries.
1. Legal immigration policy shouldn't be political. Likewise illegal immigration shouldn't be political. Illegal immigration is bad because you get too many people and I think that immigration is a privilege, not a right.
2. So you have two stupid positions. Assigning bad stuff like drugs,criminality, etc. is not correct for legal immigration. Likewise anyone who supports illegal immigration is also wrong. There are limits to the amount of resources available in the US. Immigration policy needs to take that into account. Also, illegals work under the table so that drains tax revenue. It also gives unfair advantage to employers who hire them. So with that, we need to have Everify strictly enforced with strict fines for back taxes, tax evasion, and a huge fine for hiring illegal aliens to keep companies from doing that stuff. I bet it was a fabulous issue for Trump because nobody has done squat about illegal immigration. Folks are fed up with that nonsense. And... I don't care for race baiters who say any restrictions whatsoever on immigration is "dats razzists."
3. More people = more shit. Yeah we're already a shithole country, so more people will by default make us even moreso.
4. "Immigrants make good workers and business people and good customers." Really? That's the exact position of Neoliberals! Honestly, I truly hate Neoliberals and want them all to burn in hell. Maybe climate change will send a lot of their shit into the water to be homes to the fishes.
5. Women's rights and family planning. Yes, that's an excellent idea. That's one of few things I'd support foreign aid on.
