Their recent ancestors also migrated there, and look how they treated those who were already there before them. Now, every time they look in the mirror there is a guilt they will not fully acknowledge, but it’s there, and deep down they’re afraid they’ll end up faring like the natives, that they’ll end up getting treated the way they have treated others.
That they’ll get treated the way they know deep down that they deserve.
No coincidence that those most loudly and vulgarly opposed to immigration are concentrated in the racist, confederacy-sympathizin’ pro-slavery south.
It’s so easy for charlatans to successfully pop-up in that environment and whip the people into a frenzy, feeding them more ignorance and fear every day. You get the evangelical preachers and the republican politicians, and the line is blurry between the two.
Interesting. Has anyone thought to compare the abnormality to heightened levels of lead in the environment.
Edit: Also, what the fuck is suppose to be scary about immigration? Please don’t try to conserve-splain it to me either.
Immigration is scary because brown people.
Immigrants are some combination of:
Coming to take all the jobs because they’re so hard working
coming to take all the social safety net because they’re so lazy
bringing crime with them because they’re bad people
Miscegenating the white women (miscegenating WITH?)
Coming in on democratic buses to vote for Obama somehow
Coming in to aggressively not speak American
There’s one more that I can think of.

Because immigrants are the other. It’s fear of people who are different, worrying they will change how you live your life.
Because following the laws regarding seeking asylum is illegal.
Yeah, maybe it’ll make more sense if you listen to it directly from them. (Hint: no, it actually won’t.)
disclaimer: i do not believe these arguments, im just giving context!!!
destroying white culture, increased crime rate, threat of white people being a minority (which is bad), race-mixing…
When you have an enlarged amygdala, everything is scary. Ask any conservative what they fear most and they will never finish.
