This, and also the far right sells the idea that the nation is actually great and rich but the immigrants cause all the poverty and the poverty will go away if the immigrants are expelled

I appreciate that you put some thought into this but woooooof you have terrible ideas. It’s like you looked at the “it’s poverty that makes them criminals! They need better social support” and then specifically did everything you could to form systems that solve it in a different way even though you were correct the first time, they need better social support.

There was no reason to shy from the truth. Immigration is good with social support. Also should be better social support for non-immigrants in poverty too. You don’t need to worry about “convincing far right voters” because the far right doesn’t come to power if you have a fair, transparent, and low-inequality economy and government programs that serve everyone well.

Immigration is always “an issue” regardless of what your political position is*, but only in the sense that the government should have a policy about it. The policy can be to build infrastructure in advance and create opportunities that benefit both immigrant communities and non-immigrants, or it can be to police the borders more like you’re holding back rising sea levels. Not responding in any way leads to instability and “crisis” (or more often, the opposition manufacturers the feeling of crisis).

*except for anarchism

Disagreed with #2. I think it’d be pretty nice if Canada or Europe pushed on America to grant more rights and justice to its indigenous groups (see things like the UN special rapporteur on poverty in the US). We’re pretty powerless against our government and external sources, for as little as they can penetrate the US media bubble, give us some ammunition to use to coerce the local governments.

Neat. He was a flag salesman and a Christian socialist.

I have real strong opinions about how indigenous people are treated here, why wouldn’t I have those opinions about other nonruling groups?

That’s the core question then: should Mongolian children be made to learn Chinese literature, ethics, and history instead of Mongolian literature, ethics, and history?
