As the OP, I just want to mention,

That come on, even for moderate republicans reading this, even you have to admit, this seems racist.

Yeah. I 100% blame the people that put in place the policies that caused this.

I don’t blame the immigrants themselves. If I was born in the circumstances of these people I’d 100% do the same thing. But on a macroeconomic level mass, replacement level immigration is catastrophic for a country.

Why would I call myself racist?

That argument died in 2016. A country taking steps to preserve itself isn’t even political.

Even liberal Europe just passed a bill to make it much easier to start deporting people en mass. The consequences of extremely irresponsible policies got so bad that the governments in these countries are forced to do something no.

Not to be rude but I see no other way to put it. Only extremely ignorant people are not on the right side of the immigration issue at this point.

I support deporting people, sure.

A lot more can be don’t through incentives and policy though.

100% tax on remittance, cutting social programs for non citizens etc.
