Seven immigration articles I've reported or edited reinforce my own conviction that the aspiration for more truth could be a unifier across our many other profound differences.
Ahh, so well said. And the ‘whole truth together’ implies a dynamic collaboration in ever-seeking MORE from more experiencers that expand the whole truth.
Truth is a great virtue and an extremely high value.
Here are some truths about immigration
1. Pro immigration folks like to mix legal and illegal when talking about things like crimes and burdens. It is not a truthful tactic but deceptive.
2. Mass migration furthers the wealth of the few at the cost of the many. More than 2 million more US citizens are working now compared to a few months ago, according to the data.
3. There are no jobs Americans won't do, just jobs where employers will pay low wages because of cheap imported labor, thereby hurting your fellow citizens.
4. Every single crime by an illegal alien is a crime too many, as these are crimes that wouldn't happen at all if not for the illegal alien. To compare criminality rates ignores this.
Plus one very distinct US population commits a very large portion of the crime in the country. White American crime rates are low and similar to European countries.
5. It isn't compassionate to bring people far from home to a language, culture, environment far different from their home country. Better to improve their home countries than take away some of their most promising citizens.
6. American citizens of the lower classes are most hurt by cheap labor. Great example was the 2019 Mississippi poultry plant raids. Koch brothers bought the poultry plants and replaced the local workers with illegals. After the raids, the plants hired locals, paying much higher wages. The Kochs don't need more money at the expense of the local poor. Those illegals also burdened the local communities and took resources that could have been better spent on citizens.
7. Mass migration in general and mass illegal migration in particular reduces civic virtue and social cohesion. It furthers divide and control, empowering the very rich.
Overall, I want a more civil and just society. From my view, immigration, especially illegal immigration does the opposite and is a weapon designed to hurt US citizens of the middle and lower classes. The era in US history with the lowest inequality happened during the 30 years after WW2, when there was very low immigration.
