Debunking Rightist Anti-Immigration Arguments

Trump pushes anti-immigration message (AGAIN)
[quote]President Donald Trump is powering ahead with his
anti-immigration agenda, even as voters say they are more
concerned with the coronavirus pandemic and the economic
destruction it has wrought.

No human gets to choose where they were born. Rightists love
depicting their causes with predatory animal iconography.
Non-humans migrate at will and are not beholden to any arbitrary
human borders, even non-human predators. Rightists want humans
to have less freedom of movement than non-humans, yet at the
same time try and convince non-rightists that "freedom" is the
primary goal of all rightist causes. Rightists are clearly
liars. Rightists want "freedom" for themselves and oppression
for all non-rightist non-whites in particular.
Simply put: If you are not part of the rightist tribe rightist's
believe you deserve oppression.
The only way rightists will understand what they have done to
this world is when what they have done happens to them.
Hopefully, that day is fast approaching!?

Debunking the Myth of the Middle Class
[quote]As tens of millions of Americans face unemployment,
President Trump continues to claim that the economy has been the
“strongest ever” on his watch. Economics reporter Jim Tankersley
might disagree. His new book, “The Riches of This Land,” tells
the story of what exactly has happened to America’s middle
class. He speaks with Michel Martin about this, and explains the
fallacy of restricting immigration to boost wages. [/quote]

[quote]“The arrival of a new city from overseas every year
cannot help but add hugely to pressure on communities up and
down the UK to bulldoze countryside – even ‘protected’ green
belt land — in order to make way for housing.”
“Tighter immigration control is necessary to tackle the housing
crisis and to protect our precious green space,” the think tank
added.[/quote]
In preventing UK countryside from being bulldozed for housing
space by forbidding immigration, countryside elsewhere will be
bulldozed to build that very same housing. The total quantity of
green space will still shrink by the same amount.
Just control reproduction! People who have already been born
have to live somewhere. People not yet born do not have to be
born at all.

You cannot be a supporter of Hitler and be anti-immigration at
the same time, nor can you be pro-German and anti-refugee
either:

A brief history of refugees who escaped to Germany
[quote]The current influx of refugees to Germany – with 1.5
million asylum applications since 2015 – is sometimes described
as "unprecedented." But is that actually accurate? We take a
look at the biggest previous refugee trends in Germany.
Germany - compared to other large European countries such as
France and the United Kingdom - is a relatively young country.
It wasn't until 1871 that the "German Empire" emerged by
consolidating numerous smaller kingdoms, dukedoms and
princedoms. The country saw the first large influx of refugees
during and after the first World War.
Russians escaping the revolution and civil war (1917-1920s)
After the communist revolution and the outbreak of a civil war
in Russia, approximately 1.5 million people fled the country –
among them royals, business owners, former public officials and
politicians.
At the height of the Jewish diaspora, 600,000 Russian refugees
lived in Germany in 1922/23, more than half of them in the
capital Berlin. For most of these people, Germany was only a pit
stop on their way further west. Five years later, in 1927, there
were only 150,000 Russians still living in Germany. According to
Mediendienst Integration, this was largely due to a restrictive
integration policy and a lack of legal or economic support for
the refugees.
Eastern European Jews escaping persecution (until 1920s)
In the early 20th century, Jews escaping discrimination and
persecution in Eastern Europe often fled to and through Germany,
with many hoping to eventually settle in France or the US.
Violence against Jews in Russia, for example, was already
rampant under the Zsar regime and continued – though not
officially sanctioned – under the communist regime. 90,000 Jews
from Eastern Europe were living in Germany in 1925 – that's 15
percent of the total Jewish population, according to German
newspaper Zeit. Under Germany law, Jewish people were equal to
Christians until the Nazis took over in 1933. However,
anti-semitism had already been a problem in Germany before 1933.
During the Nazi reign from 1933 until 1945, roughly half of the
over 500,000 Jews who were living in Germany fled their homes to
escape persecution and concentration camp deaths. Only 34,000 of
those who stayed in Germany survived.[/quote]

World War II left over 12 million Germans - many of them
children - internationally displaced
[quote]Internally displaced Germans (1945-1949)
Think over a million refugees in Germany is unprecedented? Well,
think again.
In the aftermath World War II, over 12 million Germans were
internally displaced. Most had lived in the Eastern parts of
Germany that Russian troops took over. After World War II, the
European map was permanently redrawn and Germany lost many
territories that had long been disputed in the East. East
Prussia, for example, became part of Russia, Poland and
Lithuania. Silesia is now largely part of Poland and the Czech
Republic. This is why, after World War II, the population
density in the now much smaller Germany was twice high as it was
before the war started.
Germans fleeing from East to West Germany (1949-1989)
From the end of World War II until 1990, Germany was divided
into two countries: West Germany, a democracy and market
economy, and East Germany, a communist country with close ties
to Soviet Russia. Between 1949 and 1961, 2.7 million people left
East Germany for West Germany. In 1961, East Germany closed the
border to the West to keep people from leaving, putting up the
famous "wall" in Berlin virtually overnight.
Even though it was illegal and very difficult for East Germans
to cross the German-German border, 5,075 people managed to cross
the wall in Berlin alone between 1961 and the fall of the wall
in November 1989. According to Mediendienst Integration, 700,000
East Germans total left the country for West Germany between
1961 and 1989, many of them illegally.
People escaping the communist Soviet regimes to West Germany
(1950s-1991)
Even though it was often difficult to leave the countries of the
Soviet Union – the most Western of which, East Germany –
bordered on West Germany, quite a few escaped to West Germany
during the Soviet reign, which lasted until 1991.
According to Pro Asyl, West Germany took in 13,000 politically
persecuted asylum seekers from Hungary after the anti-Soviet
uprising in 1956 failed. After the bloody end to the "Prague
Spring" in 1968, the western countries took in 100,000 escapees
from what is now the staunchly anti-refugee Czech Republic. More
than 10,000 of them filled for asylum in Germany.
East Germany also took in political asylum seekers, specifically
from countries where communists or socialists were persecuted,
including several thousand Chileans after the Pinochet coup in
1973.[/quote]
[quote]"Boat People" from Vietnam (mostly late 1970s)
In late 1978, the German government made the decision to take in
refugees from Vietnam trying to escape the aftermath of the
Vietnam War and the communist regime, mostly by ship. The
suffering of the so-called "boat people" had caused outrage
worldwide. Germany took in 40,000 people.
People escaping military coups in Poland and Turkey (early
1980s)
Military coups in Poland (1981-83) and Turkey (1980), along with
the Islamic revolution in Iran (1979), the Lebanese Civil War
(1975-90), and a escalating conflict between the Turkish
government and the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) caused an
upsurge in asylum applications in the 1980s. In 1980, the number
of asylum applications per year in Germany exceeded 100,000 for
the first time.
People fleeing the Yugoslav Wars (1990s)
After the fall of the Soviet Union, a series of ethnically-based
wars broke out in the former Yugoslavia, displacing millions of
people from the Balkans. Wars in Croatia and in Bosnia and
Herzegovina led to an upsurge of asylum requests in Germany,
with 438,000 first-time requests in 1992. Back then, 80 percent
of all asylum requests filed in Europe where filed in
Germany.[/quote]
[quote]During the early 1990s, anti-refugee and anti-migrant
sentiments surged in Germany. Violent far-right attacks shocked
the country. In 1991, two Lebanese girls were injured severely
when their refugee home was set on fire by neo-nazi youths in
Hünxe. In Mölln (1992) and Solingen (1993), right-wing
extremists set the homes of Turkish migrants on fire, leaving
three and five people dead.
Today, "Lichtenhagen" - the name of a neighborhood in the city
of Rostock - is still synonymous with a siege of an asylum home
by right-wing radicals and locals that took place there in 1992.
In 1993, the parliament changed the German constitution and
imposed stricter requirements for asylum seekers in Germany.
This caused the number of asylum applications to drop
drastically in the following years. Since then, people are
technically only allowed to file for asylum if they did not
travel through another country considered to be safe to get to
Germany. [/quote]

Another stupid argument is that we can simply replace immigrant
laborers with robots. Any good rebuttals to this?

[/quote]
Robots use more energy from the energy grid, which clearly has
many problems itself these days, especially if we take what's
currently happening in Texas with the rolling blackouts into
account. Secondly, who is going to maintain the robots? Are they
going to maintain themselves? To create a self-maintaining robot
workforce would take massive amounts of energy and money would
it not? You would need robots making robot parts non-stop and
robots to deliver those robot parts to where they are needed.
Definitely a lot more energy and money draining than simply
allowing immigrant workers to migrate freely.
These are Western capitalists we are speaking of though.
Efficiency and capitalism are definitely not best friends....
