Republican playbook is always to make people scared about immigrants and crime. However, stats say crime has gone down and statistics say that immigrants are less likely to commit crime. If we listened to Trump and the republicans, these stats are “fake news”
But conservative news outlets take these isolated incidents, make them seem like they’re a growing trend, stoke fear in people’s hearts and then they go and vote republican
People are going to commit crimes, but in terms of where these people come from-we do fuck up these countries a lot
But no doubt we should have some quality control and make sure all immigrants align with the values of this country. -like women’s rights, lgbtq rights, etc.
I do wanna say something about hatians because there is a lot of them here in Massachusetts. They are some of the nicest people I ever met and I don’t fuck with any of the attempts trying to demonize them.
We do have a difficult legal immigration process
Reasonably: country has labor shortages it can solve +some refugees for “international duty” and also stop fucking up these countries
