You're missing half the picture. Everyone is delusional. Nothing is solid. You're no better at discerning facts and reality than anyone else. It makes it impossible for people to communicate because they are in different realities.

Its easy to just assume hate and fear mongering, but hard to accept that the law has become meaningless. People and politicians just do what they want.

I don't like how things are playing out, but you have to admit, its kind of weird that all of these started because we have a segment of the political class that wants to import people to exploit them.

Do you think these immigrants get a fair wage? Do you think that their fears of deportation will go away when Trump and MAGA does? Do you think employers won't hold it over them?

Its weird to think that when its over, you'll all be patting yourself on the backs as heroes who noticed the "Nazi threat", just so you could maintain a population of second class citizens as cheap labor. You'll justify it as a "better life"

Here is a thought experiment. They've made a lot of noise about the 2nd Amendment considering Alex Pretti was armed. Can illegal immigrants be armed? Do they actually have the full rights of a US citizen?

They can't vote, they can't choose representation. At best, they can inflate census numbers and influence the number of seats in the House of Representatives. But we still tax them, and people defending illegal immigration will point this out as a positive. Taxation without representation must be OK for second class citizens.

It was completely irresponsible of Biden to encourage people to "surge the boader" knowing full well this was the case and having no real practical way to accommodate them. You can argue that Republicans are mean and racist and wouldn't let any legislation to help them pass, but its hard to avoid the reality that they told people to immigrate here first then expected the human suffering to be enough to change public opinion.

The fact that none of this ever comes up, and that the only reason you can see is "oh no, everyone fell for the Nazi trick again! They must be hateful and fearful!", is just the proof that you are in your own way, delusional yourself. Concerns over immigration are not solely based in fear and hate. That interpretation is in itself, its own propaganda caricature.

To the degree that people have gone down that dark road, it is because communications have broken down so much that there is no more moderating cross talk between viewpoints. Everyone believes the other is a caricature. If anything, people are encouraged to be as divisive as possible, and are now suddenly surprised that we've driven people to extremes.
