High immigration is good for a a country with a booming economy and jobs (new Dutch Republic, 1800s USA, new unified Germany, etc) and it is terrible for one with a crumbling economy or extreme internal problems. High immigration could have massively helped the USSR after the population stagnation in the Stalin years. Europe has been in a migrant crisis for a decade now and it has caused mass social unrest, economic woes, and government destabilization in places like Sweden, UK, France, etc. It was one of the primary causes of Brexit. You even have historic examples like Rome where rampant immigration in a society which could not afford it contributed to their downfall. The USA has clearly been in a "fall of Rome" type scenario for a while but it's clearly closer to a manufactured demolition or coup rather than it is an organic decline.
Leaders of countries have used this fact to destabilize and undermine the authority of other rival countries. Belarus forcing migrants from the middle east into Poland's border is a recent one. Poland has been struggling economically for years and many Polish MPs are critical for the EU for basically forcing them to leave their borders wide open. If the rate of immigration exceeds what a country can handle, then those responsible are encouraging a hostile scenario.
I watched a few videos about this last week and Briahna was the only one who actually had a rational and nuanced take on the topic. She provided historical context on the anti-immigration and pro-discrimination society most of the US was for the majority of the last 100 years. While also pointing out that whats he saying actually has truth to it - it could just be perceived as insensitive by certain demographics or inflammatory to others. People are being replaced - the billionaires in society just got away with the largest wealth transfer in world history. It's class war not just in one nation, but all over the globe. And it's pretty clear that the rampant immigration policy in the US from DHS is intentional - they want to destabilize all local authority, so the corporatism can consolidate all power and bleed everyone else out. One of many tactics which is working great for them.
Being hysterical (which most talking heads have been over this) over some words which could have been said slightly better isn't helping anyone. Screaming about media manufactured "racism" or "fascism" for 4 years makes people lose their minds, and they wind up electing someone who is actually a segregationist and implements actually fascist policies. It can and should be called out when it occurs, but stretching just waters it and down and it ends up losing all meaning.
It was ironic this week waiting for Ilhan Omar to scream about the US military intervening in Somalia this week right after the election. Which was basically her call to fame for the last x years. But hearing crickets. Why's that? Because it's fake outrage. While the "anti-war progressives" (same ones cheering another $40bil in contracts for Raytheon probably) are busy REEEEEing about Tucker Carlson dogwhistles, the military industrial complex invades yet another third world country and they don't have a fucking clue. It's amazing how easy it is to dupe people nowadays.
This is a real stretch.
