These are not refugees, they are legally employed in the town. They are taxpayers.

Misunderstanding: you assume people are being rational and doing research into these particular families. They are not.

These are a convenient scapegoat for a bigger problem.

These problems are emotional, not rational or logical.

Every faux news article implies that they are homeless refugees who were dumped in the town by Joe Biden personally.

I feel compelled to point out that they are employed taxpayers whenever it comes up.

Good call - positive information spreading, I love that.

I will make the effort to explain that I don't agree with these feelings I am explaining.

Just explaining the "thought process". Since I grew up among them.

Since people on Lemmy tend to be really left, and can't comprehend why the right does what they do.

Well I honestly think there is more nuance than that. And writing them off doesn't help.

We should take time to listen and educate people.

Same as anything else you ever learned. If your math teacher called you a dummy, are you more or less likely to pay attention next class?
