Might as well get it overwith. Now, let’s call all the people who said he’s only against ILLEGAL immigration
Reminder that immigration was never their big issue, they would happily accept European immigrants just not you know, those immigrants.
“They should come here legally!”
“They’re trying.”
“Wait what they are? Well we’d better stop that then!”
Well, in this case, “they” means white immigrants.
Ironically, this will increase illegal immigration. But maybe that’s what they want?
No, they don’t want any immigration, except from white South Africa apparently.
That’s the messaging, sure. But I think maybe they do want more illegal immigration since that’s one of their winning issues. And it’s a useful excuse to build a secret police force whose ultimate purpose will be to go after dissidents.
No… thats not what happening. Try to educate your self and dont blindly believe sensationist articles like this
Go on…educate us then?
Well they’ve certainly fucked up tourism.
I’m not going anywhere near America again until 2029.
I won’t be satisfied til tourism is at 0
I’d join you but all my stuff is there.
For what reason other than racism?
None. Its always been about the racism. They were just less blatant about it.
It’s really about control and power. Get as many people as possible to identify with your in-group by othering an out-group. Racism is one way. Anti-immigration broadens the out-group and in-group pools and can even lure in minorities into your in-group.
With enough in-group support you can consolidate power and do whatever the fuck you want. It never works for long but these people are cowards and cowards don’t think about the long-term.
True. The racism has been a key component in keeping the division going, but more recently, trans and inter-generational nonsense has been thrown in.
The trans aspect has given them a LOT of traction in the past ten years or so, since they lost on the gay marriage thing. It probably led to where we are right now, in fact. People like Megyn Kelly said it was their #1 concern. Imagine that - number one out of all the things to be concerned with. She might just be cosplaying for dollars like all these right wing bullshit artists, but still - I’m sure lots of the right are positively obsessed with the “issue” of trans.
We’ll see how the inter-generational warfare plays out for them. It seems to be going pretty well so far, since I see lots and lots of the so-called “left” falling for this shit, too. The inter-generational stuff might be more about trying to fracture the left than it is about distracting the right, but we’ll see how it plays out.
Yup. The root cause is keeping the poors fighting amongst themselves so they don’t look up at the politicians and billionaires robbing them blind
The policies that divide left and right have no effect on the corporate sponsors.
Racism is what motivates most of conservatism.
Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
He wants to sell more golden cards with his face on them.
Less competition for American workers(similar story for tariffs). There is a reason for unemployment is so low and that is mainly that the US is loosing population to migration, which has not been the case for basically ever. The issue is that the trade war is hurting the US economy, so workers do not really benefit from it.
At the same time capitalist like it to a degree, as it makes migrants much more dependent on their jobs, then American workers. As in visas often depend on having a job.
Obviously capitalists still want migrants to exploit.
There is a reason for unemployment is so low
According to whom? Because I’m extremely skeptical of literally everything that comes from this administration.
