And by immigrants I really mean immigrants: you don’t have the nationality and live in the country = you’re an immigrant.
I keep reading about the plans of parties to kick out all immigrants, stop letting in any, and some parties even advocate to revoke dual-nationalities and kick those people out too. I’ve never really understood what the point of it is and have trouble imagining what the effects of such actions would be within the country.
The actual response to that should be ‘okay, then let’s force those companies to pay better and improve working solutions for everyone including immigrants’.
But yeah you’re not gonna convince racists.
And magically they’ll argue against their first point right away.
“No, no, no, you can’t raise the minimum wage or everything will get more expensive! We need a class of people to be exploited so I can get my cheap cheeseburger!!”
That’s the furthest I’ve gotten with these people. It’s why I’m interested in what kind of other ideas they have about how the world works.
