They’re anti immigration but won’t change any policies to reduce poverty and suffering and exploitation, so they’ll keep coming and coming. I wonder how many Americans are aware and would rather just be reactive than reduce their treats or they simply are incapable of thinking 2 steps ahead and don’t understand the correlation. Or perhaps they think the American lifestyle is natural and exists out of pure willpower and anyone can do it.
In my personal experience people are just too shortsighted and/or unwilling to accept the fact that the system of neo-colonial exploitation has lead to mass migration.
Anytime I even start talking about systemic issues people just jump back to the personal responsibility bullshit that they've been propagandized to default to.
It doesn't help that all mainstream news media constantly drills the idea that there are migrants are dangerous gangsters to are out to hurt the poor wittle and pure whites and you've got a recipe for anti-migrant fervor.
In my experience they have no fucking clue how their treats are made. Everything is disconnected from everything else and happens in a vacuum. Random people are just showing up to the border to take advantage, no context or anything. They just fell out of a coconut tree.
