I knew immigration was a huge deal but this seems like a little bit in the wrong direction. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] bane_killgrind@kbin.social 37 points 2 years ago (2 children) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago But you can’t scare white folk into voting for reasonable things. permalink fedilink source parent [+] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] PurpleTentacle@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago (1 child) The US has an almost completely and entirely intentionally broken system for legal immigration, which is one of the biggest reasons for its problems with "illegal" immigration. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ChunkMcHorkle@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) deleted by creator permalink fedilink source parent
