@monte3 But not Elizabeth Warren? 😇
It isn't immigrants I have a problem with. It's the issue of resources that taxpaying citizens provide being utilized often to an exacerbated extent which results in problems like the overcrowding of local school districts by the children of people who are legally exempt for half a decade and/or those illegally indefinitely forfeiting contribution altogether.

Diversity is strength. Multiculturalism will destroy a nation. I believe in legal immigration and assimilation. Biden incorporated has created an accelerating disaster, and there is absolutely nothing good about it whatsoever. Biden Incorporated's border situation is a crime against humanity.

An argument keeps being made that multiculturalism is bad and that it damages the cohesion of society. It doesn't really stand up to the evidence.
In London, a huge proportion of the 8 million population is born overseas or second generation. It also has the most pro-immigration attitudes of any part of the UK amongst its 'indigenous' people.
It heavily voted against Brexit and is completely happy with multiculturalism. Far from seeing it as a threat, that kind of thing is actively liked. When the person from another country is your neighbor, your doctor, your local shopkeeper or your friend then you are going to see them as a person. Someone with hopes, fears and desires like YOU, rather than a racialised other.
When your experience of immigrants is reading scare stories and conspiracies from right-wing media sources, then you are likely to see them as a threat. Ironically, the places which have the most hostile attitudes to immigrants are the places with the fewest immigrants.

@questionWeaver is it only their issue if they don't assimilate?

It's great when they do it legally; if not for immigration, we'd have a declining population and that would suck ass.

@meggie Many of the faster growing cities here are in the same predicament. And I think you could add 'working trades' to the list here.

@quitwhendone What about that? I mean, Denmark is one of the richest and best countries to live in, in terms of social welfare, wages, free-time, free education for life, free healthcare, etc. Danes don't need (or want) to immigrate, but like all people, some like to travel. =)

@LookingForTheSummer not to generalise but most Scottish i worked with were loud, constantly trying to banter, chat me up. a few would be upset if a foreign person got promoted or a raise before they did.
i like working with Polish groups most. there's awkward moments due to a language barrier but they get shiz done.
