    It’s mostly racism in the case of the US.

    The US wants to preserve its exceptionalism, and thus doesn’t want to get “flooded with a wave of normal people from other countries”.

    They worry it would dilute their exceptionalism.


    Apart from that, other countries can have other reasons to be against immigration. I live in Europe, and for me it’s mostly economic concerns: I’m thinking that immigrants make the economic situation of the people living in this country worse, because they take jobs and occupy resources such as housing. It’s not racism, just economic concern.

      It’s so funny that Mr. “Enlightened” European’s take on immigration being bad is verbatim right-wing American politician talking points. You’re so much better than those racist Americans because you definitely only don’t want brown people because of FACTS and LOGIC.

            Look, i’m allowed to have an opinion, and what i said did not break any laws or directly attack any individual or group of people.

            You, on the other hand, are being emotional, and on top of that, rude. I don’t accept that. If you have something to say, you have to learn to say it properly. Calling others “not worth the air they breathe” is a serious insult and you should reconsider the way you argue with people.

            Apart from that, i think we need to take a stance where we’re actually discussing points, including their effects and consequences, instead of falling back to a mud-throwing insult-battle. I’m trying to bring up fair and valid points, you’re insulting. I think i should be taking a stance here.
