13% of Democrats agree with Trump on that.

What the actual fuck?

    Edit: Auto-Blocking Unreasonable people. I told you, all that they have is emotional responses and think spamming labels is what makes them right. It doesn’t. Just makes you a broken record.

    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. Everyone is okay with immigration until a migrant is housed over someone who is naturally born.

    I have my problems with immigration. I don’t necessarily blame the individuals, well, some of them because 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. And it can be frustrating to deal with. It’s not entirely their fault that businesses seem to see them as just labor fodder as well as the government sees them as economic fodder.

    It’s an issue that needs to be discussed and addressed. People don’t want to talk about it because they resort to just brandishing people as xenophobic. But I bet you may have a change of mind if you ever come across a couple of the scenarios I’ve exampled. We have problems in our country when it comes to the homeless, to the veterans and to the poor. I think it is absolutely unfair and unwarranted to prioritize thousands of migrants who come here over all of them.

    That is where I think the agreement is coming from. I don’t agree with Trump’s way of handling it (then again every “solution” he comes up with is incredibly extremist and impossible to pull off, especially if it’s coming from him.) I don’t agree also to have open borders either.

    We need to sit down and analyze the immigration policy closely, that has been broken for years. Why the hell have we not had a single politician yet that is running for presidency that has a solution by now? For christ sake.

    If we continue to not fix this problem, America just going to be weighed down the same way Canada got weighed down. The same way some parts of the EU got weighed down. America is just going to follow suit.

    But all we can say is “ugh, you so xenophobic” or “ugh, we’re all immigrants!”.

    Come on people, let’s be adults and actually address the issue to fix it, huh?

      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.

      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.

        Really everyone came from somewhere else. If we all go back to where our most distant ancestors came from, that spot in Africa is going to be really crowded.

          I’m willing to concede that while indigenous peoples are technically immigrants, they don’t really need to be viewed that way for practical purposes.

      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?
