I heard a burger conservative call the US a "country of immigrants" and it just occurred to me why they're so terrified of immigrants (hexbear.net)

I'm a little embarrassed it didn't occur to me earlier that they see their genocidal ancestors as immigrants and therefor think that's what immigration is.

As a black person born to immigrants, I never thought it was that deep. I just think they're racist and use someone's immigrant status as a way to justify their bigotry further.

It's no shock that they would treat Western European immigrants with a lot more care and concern.

You're probably right. But it's also probably easier to sell shit like "replacement theory" when your target's frame of reference for immigration is actually settler colonialism.
