[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. There is actually a shortage of immigrant labor in this country right now- we don’t have enough people to work as home health care aides, various jobs along the food supply chain, etc. There is no overpopulation or complicatedly large immigrant population.

2. Immigrants, both documented and undocumented, committed significantly less crime than native born Americans. If you want to see reduction or harmful crime, look to gun control, not immigration policy.

3. There is no ‘immigration line’ for these people. Read up on the different ways to get a visa- there is no path for many migrants. Yet, we depend on their labor.

4. There are ecological and cultural reasons not to have border walls. Again, easily googleable.

[b]I feel sorry for you, OP. You hold so many mistaken beliefs and they are causing you undue worry. Please try to educate yourself before falling for far right tropes. The ignorance in your post is painful. [/b]

You could have gotten your point across without this crap. Stuff like this is why a lot of people feel they can’t engage with liberals and the Democratic Party anymore. It’s so incredibly unhelpful. [/quote]

I am not the person you are replying to, but it is rather true. We have half the country watching BS "news" and expressing "worry" over stuff that simply isn't worth seriously fearing for our country. We have a better chance of falling to white nationalism and ethnic Christian faux authoritarianism than we do any harm being cause by the issues associated with OP's angst. That angst is what prompted people to participate in the 1/6 failed coup. It is that angst which is causing people to want to open carry loaded guns, to shoot up synagogues and other public places. If we are going to have worry and angst in our society, then let's direct it to the root problems and stop blaming "the other"[/quote]
