here in germany, we have a politician who is in the AfD (a right-wing party, where many members are literally Nazis).
and he is an immigrant, talking about how we should stop immigration. he only gets accepted in there because he is as bigoted as them.
i know it has little to do with this post, but i got reminded of this story by it.
Trump claims immigrants are "poisoning the blood of this country." His wife, ex-wife, and mother are immigrants...
But they're from the correct group and countries. They want eastern European characters because they'll be the correct religion and skin color. Do they hold those beliefs? Doesn't matter. What matters is the image not the people. People are expendable, ideals sell.
Many Republican leaders are children of immigrants.
Many also say our birthrate is too low and we need more young people to support our future economy, something immigration builds up.
None of it makes sense.
It does when you accept that it's all a thin veneer for "we need to outbreed the undesirables"

"no not like that!"
Thank you for your service 🫡

I have a coworker who is anti-immigrant because she thinks all immigrants are unvaccinated and spread diseases. She is also anti-vax.
I also have two half-Thai cousins who are anti-immigrant.
