Why is immigration a big deal to those who despise it?

I'll be the first to agree not anyone should just walk over and say I'm a US citizen now. However, if you want to work and contribute to this country I'm all for it.

Are you worried about being a minority (if you're white)?
Are you worried about your job being taken away from you?
Are you worried about the soil be "poisoned" and your son or daughter mixing races/cultures?

Happy Birthday 'Merica!

You’re trolling. If you want to be taken seriously, please answer why immigration is a deal to you?

Are you conflating illegal immigration with legal immigration?

I know the left likes to equate terrorists with Muslims (e.g., the Right wants to stop terror, the Left asks why so racist, apparently assuming all Muslims are terrorists since they equate opposition to terror as opposition to muslims).

The Left also equates criminals with blacks (e.g., the Right wants to stop crime, and the Left asks why so racist, assuming all blacks are criminal thugs).

Maybe you are doing the same thing with immigration??? That seems to be the only sensible explanation for your post.

Lack of exposure to diverse cultures is a big factor. The lion's share of posters who fear immigrants live in a bubble. For whatever reason, they lack the confidence to disrupt their boring bubble.

Immigrants bring a work ethic, drive, and talent that our posters cannot match. So, these same posters gobble up all the fear mongering, to exclude immigrants from swimming in their pool.

Notice how those who oppose immigration are the same folks who love their firearms. Weak-minded fraidy cats.

What you said basically fit the union of 1980s & 1990s. They’re the most anti-immigration group.

Corporations want cheap labor while working class people want better wages and benefits. Unfettered immigration hurts the working class and poor people while benefiting corporation greed.

If corporations were required to pay immigrants at the same rate with benefits as citizens, it would dry up pretty quickly.

It is a weird post, because you obviously don't understand the debate, and yet you are confident enough to show everyone you don't understand, which means you REALLY don't understand.
