Even though right-wing politicians decry immigration (because it's a populist viewpoint), they secretly or openly want more. Countries without low immigration will lag economically compared to countries with high immigration such as the US.

Who cares what a bunch of clowns did a couple of years ago in their own country? Not my problem.

But very telling that you had to dig deep.

I care about what happens in and around my home.

A ten second internet search. Yes I'm super invested in this.

I care about what happens in and around my home.

Well by that criterion, nobody has ever burned a flag or smashed public property near my home, so everything is peachy.

Yeah perhaps you could have posted a better example than a years old story not pertinent to the issue at hand.

You draw your conclusions, I draw mine.
