I don't think anyone is giving them a pass?
Just not true, according to the data we have, a vast majority of workers are better off with immigration.
The only group which is hurt by it is people without high school diploma, which is bad, but the increased productivity and tax revenue could also easily be used to help those people.
How are these things caused by tolerance? The first one is a runaway unregulated housing market, and the second one is caused by austerity.
Just not true due to a huge variety of factors I am too lazy to explain right now.
Again, how is this caused by being tolerant of minorities?
"When I said that gay people are driving the wages down at Thanksgiving my family looked at me weird."
In France the left has the following explanation most of the time: "he doesn't have our cultural reference and doesn't know it's bad," or "he's psychologically disturbed and therefore not his fault so no prison."
I guess I've seen people say this? But it's not really the common way of thinking in most progressive spaces. Can't really say for France specifically though, I guess.
In these cases people are usually put on involuntary psych holds, and reassessed over time, as far as I know?
Either way, not really getting off scott-free.
Theyre giving them a pass to enter the country.
