    The Haitians in Springfield who got accused of eating geese in the park are currently all there to revitalize Ohio’s automotive industry. Republicans love their car culture and hate their car manufacturing workforce.

    We don’t have enough children, our birth rate is too low. Yet allowing young immigrants to come in? Terrible idea for some reason.

      Yeah because they are going to steal your most beloved jobs! Like cleaning and fast food cooking and everyone’s childhood career dream of being a toilet lady.

      For real though, I could at least follow the logic if it were for high paying, competitive jobs. But these aren’t the migrants you are trying to keep out, in fact it is the one every country wants to get in. So why are the migrants the problem who are going to live in relative poverty, agreeing to wage theft, agreeing to horrible living conditions? The ones who won’t hardly have enough for a pension.

      Also, there is nothing wrong with cleaning, fast food cooking, or toilet ladies. All the more power to them. It is a fucking disgrace that we regard certain unpleasant jobs (that will still need to be done) as low skill, low class, and award them with the lowest pay possible.

    The same people who said sleepy Joe is too senile and incompetent to be president yet also masterminded both Covid-19 and committed the biggest election fraud in the history of this nation…

    They can be both because the jobs they work pay too little to live on, so they need welfare to survive.

    Of course that’s true for most jobs that non-immigrants work too, but a few cents more and you’re suddenly not eligible for grocery money.

    You forgot the misogyny. The women take the welfare and the men take the jobs and all the families are broken /s

    Consider this: half the migrants are collecting welfare, and half of them are taking jobs.

      The “weak and strong” thing nazis do with Jewish people has always been one of the most ridiculous square circles imo.

      They’re, apparently, weak, bad, lower, undesirable etc. As such, they should be killed to allow the master race to take charge of everything.

      However, apparently, Jewish people are also in charge of all the banks, all the governments and every institution, other than nazi approved ones, as well as being in charge of everything. Ruling from the shadows.

      However, by their own logic, that would make the Jews the master race.

    For fascism the power they derive is all from the fear generated by an enemy that is both weak yet strong. They’re weak and know they’re wrong

    Ah of course. Americans tie so much success and personal welfare to employment, that’s the problem! An UBI would help everyone succeed then we wouldn’t be too worried about immigrants /s.

    No matter where you are in the world, this anti-immigrant sentiment is the same.
