    Immigration isn’t a huge deal. It’s a completely manageable concept that’s held up as this bogeyman in rich countries like Canada, the US, and the UK. The people holding up the bogeyman benefit from a disenfranchised underclass that can’t amass wealth or power due to the precarious nature of their existence in that rich country.

      Exactly this. In my real life I do a lot of work with recent immigrants and when there is a reasonable system in place, there are very few issues. Having NO system for immigration is the root of the worst of the problems IMHO.

        But you can’t scare white folk into voting for reasonable things.
