"Immigrant" in fascist newspeak means "non-white person". in fact, I still remember a fascist from 10+ years ago, who opposed "all forms of immigration" to the US suggesting me deep red states and towns where I could settle down, and he was convinced "immigration" meant "movement of non-white people between countries", and called my potential move to the US "settling down in another country".
wrote last edited by [email protected]Yeah. Immigration and emigration are really normal innocent terms to sort of explain populus as a commodity around a country's borders. Social, economical, skills, etc. They're just normal things countries enact to increase, decrease, or balance depending on their internal situation. And that's entirely reasonable because it's the only thing in place that kind of controls our species' population to secure itself and all the shit we impact on ourselves and the environment.
So, it makes sense for a country to open up when it can sustain or needs more people. It's like leaving the door open, "Come on in, please."
In other times, it's to prevent damage like, "Sorry, we'd normally love to have you but we can't afford it right now unless you're bringing your own beer."
The US, right now, with it's low employment rate and Trump's dreams of being self-sustaining in many industries, guess what? The US needs to open up its borders BIG TIME for that and needs to incentivise it for that scale too.
But to many Americans, "immigrants" does not mean that. Could b the smartest motherfucker out there, but they don't care you're a dual PhD holder and know four languages, you have an accent and your skin isn't white; you're a fucking "immigrant" lol.
Society is a weird plague that always gets the better on humans.

Yup. You've also got words like environment not meaning the world we live in, safety not meaning being safe (this isn't exclusive to fascists, but they ran with it in the small government bullshit) and "nazis were actually left wing".

The US takes in a lot of immigrants.
Well, probably fewer now. But yes, up till now it was easy enough If you're from India or have a million dollars.

I heard an anecdote of an old white American couple visiting Mexico and the wife remarked "wow, there are so many immigrants."

Is this comment for real? Recognizing satire is kind of an important part of reading comprehension, you know.

Before 1950: Colonizer. Cool, badass, likely about to commit crimes against humanity to enrich themselves
After 1950: Expat.
People like this never see themselves as immigrants. They believe immigrants extract value while they are value generators that are a benefit to anywhere they may grace with their presence.
Immigrant = Bad. Steals jobs from locals
Expat = Good. Stimulates local economy with capital.
Add a garnish of good old race science (used to justify crimes against humanity for 200 years) and I think you can tell where I'm going with this. Are non-Europeans and their descendants even like, you know, people?
How did the expat get capital you ask? The guy in line one is their daddy's daddy's daddy. Or brought that stolen wealth back to their daddy's daddy's daddy's country.
But is that wealth really stolen if its taken from non-people? - the sophistication of moral philosphical quandaries of the European colonial era lmao.

Have you read the comments on your own post?! These people think that sign is real.
