Like y’all could try to make actual arguments against immigration but inevitably it ends up being “brown people scary” so then I’m like “ahhh that’s actually why”

Ok, so what is the “anti-immigration” argument then? What is their reasoning for that belief, in your thoughts? Do you believe that people that believe in anti-immigration are just racist and they just don’t like any immigration?

I believe a whole lot of the people who are anti-immigration are just racist. Y’all seemingly have a hard time articulating why without it devolving into racist rhetoric. Not all, there’s arguments regarding labor forces and social services. But the anti-immigrant movement as a whole seemingly never escapes run of the mill racist xenophobia as the main driver.

Ok, so what’s some racist rhetoric that you’ve been hearing if you don’t mind me asking?

Well in America we have the made up lies about Haitians, calling Somalis “incompatible with the west,” calling for “remigration” on an ethnic basis, Native American politicians being told to “go back where they came from” because they’re brown, current immigration policy treating Afrikaners as refugees but not actual refugees who aren’t white, “heritage Americans,” racial slurs being used against immigrants, claims that some immigrant ethnicities are “genetically inferior” (mostly abt Somalis)

The anti-immigrant parties in the UK (mostly reform) have a lot of members who use racial slurs, praise Nazis, and are Holocaust deniers.

In America there’s also this bizarre attempt to otherwise Latinos as being “non-western” or foreign to American values when they’re Spanish-speaking Christians also from frontier colonial nations with histories of liberal revolution. They’re extremely similar to Americans. But they’re grown.
