Not everyone thinks this, but I know an extreme right-winger who thinks this. He is also a conspiracy theorist who thinks non-white people are out to get white people so, yeah, odd.
Not every immigrant is illegal or bad. I know a girl who didn’t speak English for 3 years when her family legally immigrated, so of course she’s been told this.
Your first mistake is assuming logic has anything to do with it.
“Shouldn’t that logic apply to…”
One must remember that people aren’t logical. They’re hypocritical and willfully ignorant.
So people are programmed to be biased towards their own self interest, it’s not as malicious as it sounds, it’s unfortunately human nature.
So naturally they would think that the new world conquest was justified for whatever reason (maybe cause there was no flag?).
And conversely, naturally they would think of new people coming here as less justified, after all, we live in a modern world with borders now.
What I’ve learned from politics in the last few years, especially during the pandemic, is to never trust someone’s opinion when there is conflict of interest.
those people are looking for something to hate. This is also why those kind of people are deadend for humanity. If they get rid of all immigrants they will find some other group to hate and after getting rid of those they will find another again until there are only 2 people that want to kill eachother, if you excuse the hyperbole.
For a moment I was like wtf…then I saw this was on no stupid questions
Short answer is “propaganda”. News agencies against immigration will pretty regularly swap between “illegal immigrants”, “immigrants”, and <insert current target race here> as if they’re practically interchangable to build whatever narrative they want, and also to slowly build an association between ‘people of <insert race>’, ‘being a drain on society’, and ‘being here illegally’ to get the average person to side with them.
the logic is that they think white people deserve the land more. Its plain old racism.
Racism, that answer is racism… No need to over analyse this
The far-right doesn’t care about logic, it’s all just good ol’ racism.
Because that would involve a level of logic and critical thinking well beyond them.
It is ethnic cleansing, pure and simple.
American fascism doesn’t care what’s true or what’s right. It cares only to kill and enslave people who are “undesirable”
You know it’s true because it’s fun to say
Social media induced psychosis
Racism.
That’s i t.
That’s literally it.
- Not all US cirizens feel this way. Convict47 won by 1.5%, with 19 million less voters Thant the previous time. Voter suppression won this election.
- And for the ones that feel this way, you’ve got it absolutely right, plain old ignorant racism.
That’s the great thing about racism, it doesn’t have to make sense!
Racism?
No, thanks!
