I'm all for it. Both my parents were immigrants my wife's family is immigrants. I grew up in Michigan with a huge Muslim immigrant population. It's all good.

Unfortunately immigrants are an easy "other" and big target for the "they took our jobs" or "my neighborhood used to be for me". Crowd.

I don't pretend to have an answer for that problem because it's an emotional and healing problem not a political a or statistical problem.

We see Korea and Japan literally collapsing rather than let in more immigrants so that's a clue on how stuck in their ways people are.

Also I'm way more progressive than most. for most of human history borders were open and people just went where they wanted. it's only this last 80ish years we're the idea is a border should always be perpetually closed. Which i think is very anti human and terrible economically.
