US Politics 2d
It’s pretty obvious that the right was only pro legal immigration because they thought it was mostly white people. The moment those mfs found out that the legal and skilled immigrants coming here were brown people too they flipped on it overnight 💀

i don’t think anyone has been under the impression that immigrants were mostly white in over 50 years at least

Illegal immigrants maybe…but H1Bs? There has never really been an opinion on “who” the holders of those and green cards are.

The mainstream right was pro-legal immigration because the RNC told them the issue was the *legality*. Then it was about drugs and crime. Then they slowly slid further right and now it’s about race and religion

Because of of their cultures and customs are not compatible with our civilization. I went to Canada and saw someone popping in a river. Whole streets and sculptures in Canada have turn red because of paan spitting by them

I’m talking about skilled legal immigration. I think a lot of right wingers thought that they were mostly white people

Pretty easy to fix the paan spitting. Just fine people for spitting excessively in public. Even some states in India do this

Also, the establishment right is still somewhat pro-legal immigration but they’re fine keeping the system as-is. MAGA doesn’t even want legal immigration, and they’ve taken over the party

Yes but it shouldn’t even have been a problem to begin with…. In addition to the accounting and finance firms in my city have been importing a lot of hb visa ppl and they all ride scooters, bikes and motorcycles(like 2-3 on a seat) and creates an hazard for traffic. It’s little stuff like that which is not integratable

2 people on a motorcycle isn’t a traffic hazard 😭 and have you seen what sidewalks look like rn? Tobacco, gum, and cigarettes everywhere. Bans on spitting things out on the street should’ve been in place decades ago

Shall we just ban every single person for not exactly following typical cultural norms? Why is citizenship somehow determined of exactly following cultural norms? Yes, of course, we can argue that defying. Some norms in the United States might be unethical to some degree, but claiming that as a reason for denying immigration is immoral at best
