I’m going to take a hit but I don’t care because I really have been talking to someone about this. Everyone is okay with immigration, until they have faced or been in situations where someone from another country is hired over someone who was naturally born in a country.

I guess they should have had better qualifications.

Everyone is okay with immigration until a migrant is housed over someone who is naturally born.

Are you repeating a JD Vance talking point here? https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jd-vance-debate-immigration-housing-prices-real-estate-federal-reserve/

some of the migrants I’ve come across have been quite socially unaware and absolutely refuse to like adapt to the atmosphere of the country they migrated to.

That country being the "great melting pot" where those cultures get adopted by and integrated into society?

People don’t want to talk about it because they resort to just brandishing people as xenophobic.

Except all the people loudly talking about it all the time.

I don’t agree also to have open borders either.

Please name the people who want open borders.

Why the hell have we not had a single politician yet that is running for presidency that has a solution by now?

You mean why do they not have a solution you'll accept.

But all we can say is “ugh, you so xenophobic”

Possibly.

or “ugh, we’re all immigrants!”.

Correct, unless you're indigenous.

Correct, unless you're indigenous.

Really everyone came from somewhere else. If we all go back to where our most distant ancestors came from, that spot in Africa is going to be really crowded.

It's about colonised or coloniser, with drastically different privilege and safety for white folks than someone with melanin. You can play nuance games all you want, in the end this is pitting proles against proles for the sake of empire building. The common person would be much safer, happier and harmonious in the world of Land Back than the Neo-Colonialism we endure.

I'm willing to concede that while indigenous peoples are technically immigrants, they don't really need to be viewed that way for practical purposes.
