>ut as a dogwhistle for their Floridian golf club members who don't like minorities of any sort and to appease a large section of the base of covert and overt racists generally.

I mean, here's how I see it, if 100 million Polish people, a very white peoples, suddenly claimed asylum in the US, had 300 million anchor babies to exploit that loophole, used the anchor baby army to claim massive funds of welfare in aggregate, all the while claiming zero income while working under the table and undercutting the common man ... ... and also driving drunk and refusing to learn any English and demanding Americans ought to learn Polish

If the Polish people did that I'd have it in to deport them all. And it wouldn't be about race at all, it would be the overwhelming unfair advantages and systematic exploits the Polish performed in this case. The racist narrative is just another manifestation of "playing the race card" to defend indefensible, selfish, toxic behavior

Not so much a dog whistle as a dog symphony orchestra at this point

what is racist in what you just said is you decided to bundle all the polish in one indiscriminate entity and punish them collectively despite knowing that some of them did not commit any crime. in fact you decided to sacrifice those because their lives are not worth your attention. and that's racist.

Good thing this scenario is entirely fictional. Even if it weren't completely made up, though, you'd still be ethically obligated to assess immigrants as individuals and not simply guilty by association, except perhaps under the most dire wartime circumstances.

You'd also be legally obligated, but to be lawful is not always the same thing as being ethical nor moral.

It would be challenging, I admit, considering the country will have doubled in size with half of them being infants that naturally don't speak English, or any language for that matter.

We really should close that loophole, though. And it definitely is a loophole and not the explicit intention of a constitutional amendment. An oversight to be sure.

Look over there were Law of Small Numbers can be applied to immigrants that commit crime and exploit the system. Don't believe me, here is a coherent story to help push the narrative. See that one person in this category did something bad so they are all bad!

Ignore all the wage thief and other crimes like poniz scheme's, multi level marketing scheme's, political bribery, and fraud. Those crimes just hurt millions upon millions. Don't look at those numbers, they are too big for anyone to under stand. Focus on that person's skin color and accent. They are the true criminals.

This propaganda is just sickening that it works all to well.

Yes, if this other thing happened which didn't really happen then things would be different. How enlightening, did you come up with this yourself?
