I said we're strip-mining immigrants for value. I'm not vilifying immigrants, I'm vilifying a system that treats people like a resource to be exploited.
I'd be totally fine with high levels of immigration if it came with investment in infrastructure. But it doesn't and the reason it doesn't is because we're using immigration instead of investment because we're bringing people in to avoid having to have an adult conversation about taxes.
Immigration because it's the right thing to do? Sure. Immigration because Galen Weston doesn't want to pay workers a fair wage, nor pay more in taxes? Nope.
Sure, I can get behind that. The issue with our country isn't immigration though. Like you said, it's handing over our money and future to the Westons, etc. While we should be focused on that, we're discussing immigration. This isn't a new tactic and people fall for the bait so very easily
