What do you know, a bunch of real people saying the sorts of things I was saying earlier.
This is the Hegelian Dialectic in action. Our leaders created a problem (unchecked immigration) and have let it fester for decades until half of the country begs for massive state overreach to correct it.
Take a step back. This is state overreach, but why did they let immigration get this bad?
Immigration was never a real problem. It was just a convenient way to blame outsiders for problems created by those in power, leaving those in power free to continue causing problems for their own benefit.
No one really likes immigration. Brexit was launched over it. Japan is notoriously anti-immigrant. Mexico has stricter anti-immigration laws than the US!
Immigration definitely is a problem, but that problem is intentionally created.
That's not Immigration being a problem, that's powerful people within countries blaming outsiders for problems they caused, and then causing more problems as a result of refusing to confront their own responsibility. People are the same everywhere, and that includes the greed of the powerful.
Jan 29, 2026 15:53Let me repeat: Immigration is wildly unpopular everywhere. It is promoted despite that. It is regularly promoted despite the will of the people.
