[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Apologies if there’s another thread on this…

But really? It seems like people I know who are not particularly affected by this issue are focused on it as a deciding factor in the election. It’s immigration, immigration, immigration.

Is immigration that terrible for our country? In my world at least, the most obvious related issue I see is that small businesses don’t have enough labor. So immigration is a good thing.

Maybe I’m myopic. Can someone please explain?

Same way the GOP invents issues that come and go with ease: propaganda. Even though the underlying issues with immigration stay pretty much the same (as they have for at least 150 years of immigration to America, and before that I don’t feel like I know enough about how new immigrants fit in, but obviously they were still coming!): schools affected, doctors can’t speak the language of their patients, housing, the general friction of new cultures fitting into established cultures. That doesn’t change with anything like the speed with which right wing media picks up and discards immigration as an issue.

They lost abortion as a way to get their hateful voters to the polls, so now it’s just trans issues and immigration. [/quote]
