    It’s mostly racism in the case of the US.

    The US wants to preserve its exceptionalism, and thus doesn’t want to get “flooded with a wave of normal people from other countries”.

    They worry it would dilute their exceptionalism.


    Apart from that, other countries can have other reasons to be against immigration. I live in Europe, and for me it’s mostly economic concerns: I’m thinking that immigrants make the economic situation of the people living in this country worse, because they take jobs and occupy resources such as housing. It’s not racism, just economic concern.

      It’s so funny that Mr. “Enlightened” European’s take on immigration being bad is verbatim right-wing American politician talking points. You’re so much better than those racist Americans because you definitely only don’t want brown people because of FACTS and LOGIC.

            Look, i’m allowed to have an opinion, and what i said did not break any laws or directly attack any individual or group of people.

            You, on the other hand, are being emotional, and on top of that, rude. I don’t accept that. If you have something to say, you have to learn to say it properly. Calling others “not worth the air they breathe” is a serious insult and you should reconsider the way you argue with people.

            Apart from that, i think we need to take a stance where we’re actually discussing points, including their effects and consequences, instead of falling back to a mud-throwing insult-battle. I’m trying to bring up fair and valid points, you’re insulting. I think i should be taking a stance here.

      Ah yes “taking jobs.” Capitalists just leave the jobs lying around waiting to pay white people lots of money locally but then evil brown people come and take them.

      If you’re so concerned about the economy why don’t you focus on the Lords and dictators sucking the wealth out of you and your fellow man rather than picking a fight with people trying to make a better life for themselves.

      You’re such a little brainwashed peasant that you’re turning your anger towards those that have less rather than focusing on those robbing you blind.

      What a good peasant

        You’re wrong in assuming i’m not fighting against the rich. I am a vocal proponent of wealth tax, and dedicate a lot of effort towards that goal.

        I assume you should have taken the time to learn one thing about me or two before forming an assessment about my character.
