Can American Immigrantphobia be cured?

There's always a wave of xenophobia whenever a bunch of people are coming in all at once... and then it settles down and we forget it ever existed.

The way Americans feel about Hispanics now is very similar to the way they felt about Irish and Italian people a hundred and twenty years ago. And now when someone's Irish or Italian we don't even notice.

some Latinas look exactly like hispanics. I couldn't tell the difference

Why go anonymous with this vague, accusatory question? Are you ashamed of yourself?

Anyway, the real question that should be asked is if any immigration is needed in the first place, especially with a population of 330 million, a recession, the growth of AI, and after large numbers of immigrants have already come.

I hope not, It pisses me off that I have to pay for immigrants that can't speak English, Don't want to work and our stupid fucking government wants to give them a handout. If they get free money then they can vote for said politician

Yes, we need to adopt meaningful immigration policies, reclaim control of our borders. and let people in that can benefit the country and become productive citizens who will not end up being supported by taxpayers.

No. As then they would need to self-reflect on where they have come from, and what they have become.

Americans are too dumb, insecure and arrogant for that.

There's no such thing. We don't mind them coming here, just do it legally and THEY can get handouts, they should be given to us first!!

[RealDaveThomas]

What's funny is, the country is literally built on the backs of immigrants... and their slaves

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, at that

[Asker]

Americans are afraid of either illegal or legal immigrants. That's why they set the bar so high that anyone who is millionaire can migrate. poor people can't come

[Asker]

Who’s legal or who’s not legal. It’s about money after all. You just want money

[Dargil]

There isn't any LEGAL phobia against immigrants. Only illegals.

[SiberFox]

A phobia is an irrational fear of something, why shouldn't natives be afraid of immigrants?

[Anonymous]

Sure.

Stay the fuck out and work to make your own country less of a shithole. We’re full up with Haitians and Guatemalans. 👍

Another freaking stupid question. Phobia this, phobia that.

[joeldalton]
