We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

You think immigration is that much of an issue but then lay out right-wing talking points as the issue and offer literally nothing to back them up. And then you act like I'm not asking genuinely and I should give you the stats about things you can't even properly specify.

I'm going to stick with there's no actual immigration issue you just don't want immigrants.

I don't have a problem with immigration as a concept.

I have an issue with how immigration is being used in large parts of the west currently.

Here you go have a read of this.

I've seen first hand what happens to wages/jobs and housing and cities because of immigration. Everyone knows about the crime issues from certain countries but most governments won't release that data.

The only reason they are "right wing talking points" is because the left are living in denial. This is the wokness feeling of immigration must be good because we say it's good. Yet whenever data comes out about immigration (when broken down not over all) it shoes bad things.

So please provide me with evidence. Maybe you will change my view. Like I said I used to vote left but seeing as the left live in denial. The right as you call them have figures showing immigration so bad. I'm going to have to go on what I've seen in reality and what the figures say. I'm not going to live in some leftie make believe land where every immigrant is an upstanding university educated, secular, LGBT loving, non sexist who believes in western values and integrates perfectly.
