Everyone is okay with immigration, until they have faced or been in situations where someone from another country is hired over someone who was naturally born in a country. Everyone is okay with immigration until a migrant is housed over someone who is naturally born.

Uh...no, I have no problem with an immigrant getting a job in my country. Or having a place to live.

If you aren't okay with those, then when you say "immigration", you might be thinking of "tourism". If you're not okay with immigrants having a job and a place to live, you're not okay with tourism.

Everyone is okay with immigration, until they have faced or been in situations where someone from another country is hired over someone who was naturally born in a country.

I have every right to be here as you do. Why should you get a job that we both applied for just because you were born here?

I’m going to take a hit but I don’t care because I really have been talking to someone about this. Everyone is okay with immigration, until they have faced or been in situations where someone from another country is hired over someone who was naturally born in a country.

I guess they should have had better qualifications.

Are you repeating a JD Vance talking point here? https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jd-vance-debate-immigration-housing-prices-real-estate-federal-reserve/

some of the migrants I’ve come across have been quite socially unaware and absolutely refuse to like adapt to the atmosphere of the country they migrated to.

That country being the "great melting pot" where those cultures get adopted by and integrated into society?

People don’t want to talk about it because they resort to just brandishing people as xenophobic.

Except all the people loudly talking about it all the time.

I don’t agree also to have open borders either.

Please name the people who want open borders.

Why the hell have we not had a single politician yet that is running for presidency that has a solution by now?

You mean why do they not have a solution you'll accept.

But all we can say is “ugh, you so xenophobic”

Possibly.

or “ugh, we’re all immigrants!”.

Correct, unless you're indigenous.

Witness this right wing authoritarian whining about getting ratio'd for spouting Moral-Fear-Propaganda openly dehumanizing one group of people under another, crying about it.

Fascism is a virus all of it's own, a weird evil in a bad way, the only kinds of degenerates with the only kind of kinks society must stop. Their bloodlust is the poison. This White-Supermacist, Eugenicist Cancer asks you to turn your neighbor in and destroys every nation that obliges.

So reader, Solidarity Forever. Ill promise you, you promise me, to never sell each other out to these murderous theives. I'll call you on your shit, please call me on mine. We'll work together, and our grass will be the greener in time. ❤️‍🔥

I think you may have missed the point of the article. I don't think it's reasonable to assume democrats don't want to do anything about immigration. Trump and Biden both have basically the same plan to address illegal immigration. Harris' plan is similar to both of theirs as well.

Illegal immigration is not nearly as serious as the average Republican might believe. They add strain to systems already working beyond their limits, but legal or illegal migrant workers aren't displacing citizens at work and aren't leading to the kinds of outcomes Mr. Trump would like his followers to believe. It does happen occasionally, but not enough to justify the alarming hate filled rhetoric.

The problem is that "poisoning the blood" is nakedly racist. The phrase has been used for over 100 years as a dog whistle for white nationalism. How can you have a rational discussion about addressing the real problems that enable illegal immigrants (American businesses hiring them) or the additional strain they put on already over worked and under funded public services if one side is ideologically set on the notion that migrants are evil?

I don't think it's reasonable to believe that democrats don't want to address the border. Safe, legal migration into the United States benefits everyone. If we streamlined the legal immigration process and cracked down hard on businesses and individuals hiring undocumented migrants, that would address the bulk of migrants illegally crossing our borders.

Perhaps we make it a felony with mandatory jail time (per infraction) to hire an undocumented worker or own a company that employs them. Or perhaps we remove the exemptions some types of businesses enjoy from paying minimum wage. One of the reasons businesses hire illegal immigrants in the first place is they are cheaper than American workers because you can pay them less than minimum wage.

Right now there are a lot of businesses that benefit from cheap migrant labor, if we can break that trend, some of those businesses will fold, for sure. But do we want to let failed businesses that can't stay open without breaking the laws of the United States to continue to operate?

Edit: And of course as expected, three people already came up to bat and readily swung and missed by getting too emotional with their responses. That’s not really taking the issue like an adult.

Is that what you think really happened? Can you quote this emotionality from my response since I was one of those three?
