Border security being seen as anti immigrant really shows how fucked our immigration system is

makes it really hard to have a genuine conversation when so many people conflate a desire for a secure border with racism

Final more biased and leading question to question this. How often do you advocate for a militarization of our Canadian border and about cracking down on illegal Canadian immigrants by putting immigration checks in more white neighborhoods to Crack down on these illegal immigrants?

Are you willing to submit to immigration checks with soldiers asking you for proof of citizenship to ensure border security or should this be deferred to specific regions and if so, why?

good question, it would have to be specific areas. even though border security is essential so is general peace of mind and not intruding on citizens rights. nobody is going to put up with immigration checks if there's zero issues with immigration in a neighborhood it will have to be reactive to a certain degree, putting resources where the problem is not just casting a wide net everywhere if one area is heavily affected by either a flow of drugs or immigrants then citizens in that area are going to have to expect some inconvenience **if** those policing outcomes are actually leading to net benefits

Definitely. But there's how it should be ( which you cover nicely) and how it really is, and I think race plays more of a bias in why things are more they way they are more than the right side will admit.

Which you definitely covered saying the right is naieve, but I don't think the left should be getting shit for pointing out we are chasing bad border policy due to these biases.

I feel you, I just think it's disingenuous when people use arguments like "you just don't want brown people in America" I'm sure that's a small percentage of people on the right, but the policy isn't stemming from that bias. it's stemming from years of American resources going to assist non-citizens and fentanyl coming in (from both borders and all ports of entry) seemingly unchecked. if we'd been dealing with the same issues stemming from Eastern European migration, people would be just as upset, there'd just be no racial undertones. idk if the current border policy will work as intended, but at the very least it's doing something. may end up being an overcorrection or even placation, but the way we were going wasn't ideal either

I'd say more important than putting troops and wire to drown people on our borders to stop immigration, if the US stopped destabilizing the Latin American region we'd see far less immigrants crossing the southern border.
