The anti-immigrant goons don’t get the Schrödinger reference.
I’m not anti immigration but if you want to get into the reference it’s quite possible for two seperate immigrants to be working and taking available jobs and not working while collecting welfare. I don’t need to point out the obvious that immigrants aren’t one entire entity that can only do one thing at a time. There’s obviously instances where immigrants do have an impact on local job availability and there there are instances of immigrants collecting welfare and not working. I don’t need to point out the obvious that there are some instances of immigrants contributing more to the local economy than the local community too. This meme is actually a fairly shallow take on a complex issue, something I would prefer to leave to the bigots

I have a coworker who is vehemently anti-immigrant. One of the reasons she gives for this stance is that they come to this country unvaccinated and spread disease. Guess who is also anti-vax?
Right-wing ideology doesn’t have to be consistent - it merely has to shift the blame for society’s ills away from those who caused them.
This kind of reasoning is consistent across all forms of bigotry. Having self contradictory believes about a demographic just so nothing they can do will be the right thing for them to do.
It’s especially ironic to hear that from Americans lol my house is older than your country, what “immigrants” you are talking about

Loads of xenophobic idiots laugh at me for this, but I’m noticing a lot of migrations due to climate change. Honestly IMO it will only get worse as time goes on.
I’ve been thinking we should play on xenophobe’s fears to get them to support actions to curb climate change.
At least their bigotry will have some positive result then.
Of course, ideally, they could be convinced that not “all brown people are bad” (sic) and also support climate change action, but we all now how likely that is.

Yes, they do - which is why they do everything in their power to keep that disempowered labor disempowered by hysterically painting them as an “other” that must be repressed through every means available.
It’s just how right-wing ideology has always worked.
