This is a thorny issue for sure. 

I am supportive of *legal* immigration. Come here announced, the right way and with a decent background with no gangs or violence (a fist fight doesn’t count IMO, but attempted murder? No thanks) in the record and I’m all for it. We need people of all stripes, backgrounds and abilities to keep this thing going. 

Where it gets squirrelly.. when it’s used as a political tool, both for the modern liberals and conservatives (emphasis on **modern**, classical liberals would be appalled lol I imagine John Locke seeing what we call a liberal now..). The liberals think we should be wide open, no restrictions and the conservatives think we should be completely closed. 

I think we need to get back to sensible immigration but it will never happen because it’s such an easy and convenient tool for division agendas and politics. Division is the easiest form of control and it’s unfortunate that people don’t realize it for what it is. 

The situation in places like Ireland and Britain is that the people are brought in, don’t assimilate to the culture of the place they are going (with caveats of course but there is well known rape culture in the middle eastern and northern African countries sadly, and it is being fomented on the people of the region) and then try to change the place to be like how it is where they came from. 

There’s a lot of things in between there but I think this is also a tool used for division politics. It’s no secret how much money the ilk of Soros are dumping into the Open Society related foundations and the destruction that occurs after they get going in an area. 

I think that’s a good spot to pause and see what your thoughts are :D
