Thosands and thousands of immigrants live in my area. We have had years with ZERO murders. My kids' class is like 80% immigrants. None. Zilch. Low crime up the wazoo. I could leave my doors unlocked. In a city. Immigrants MAKE it safe, do less crime than citizens. It's multilingual Mayberry.
The Right is either civically disengaged, bitching from the sidelines. Or, they’re so radicalized that they immediately resort to violence. I just don’t see any substantial showing of anything in between
Frustrated with how many politicians seeking office are afraid to name and shame the opposition party when they routinely and redundantly name and shame its leader. Until they name and shame the party as much as its leader, I’m afraid the voters will remain as confused and apathetic as they are.
-Especially given that despite claims from the right one side to the contrary. Most immigrants, undocumented or still going through the immigration process, have no history of criminal activity. So treating them like violent sociopaths to the contrary is just an excuse to exact harm on the innocent
In all sad honesty I have to disagree w/ that. One because undocumented people are a bit harder to find. However I'll stipulate that an undocumented immigrant is not as dangerous as somebody who has the ability to bash someone's head in and get away w/ it like a cop, or soldier for that matter.-
-Meanwhile sociologically they're no more dangerous than anyone else. And people trying treating them like that just make excuses for their racism and violence towards them.
Which makes them the product of manipulation, personal issues, and rhetoric of blaming others and avoiding responsibility.
No I agree w/ that. That's not what I'm saying, just that the lack of a paper trail to find them like anyone makes them a bit harder to find logistically. But honestly Not by much 🤷🏾♂️.
Idk, I feel like I only mentioned it because that's something I don't want forgotten or used against the movement.-
I would add it's not simply the party and the people that support it, but also conservatives writ large. Their ideology gathers and breeds contempt which metastisizes into violence.
