    Why do you care about illegal immigrants? My nation had a higher influx of refugees and their ratio to local citizens was also higher than USA, so, why do you care about illegal immigrants?

      It’s mostly racism in the case of the US.

      The US wants to preserve its exceptionalism, and thus doesn’t want to get “flooded with a wave of normal people from other countries”.

      They worry it would dilute their exceptionalism.


      Apart from that, other countries can have other reasons to be against immigration. I live in Europe, and for me it’s mostly economic concerns: I’m thinking that immigrants make the economic situation of the people living in this country worse, because they take jobs and occupy resources such as housing. It’s not racism, just economic concern.

        It’s so funny that Mr. “Enlightened” European’s take on immigration being bad is verbatim right-wing American politician talking points. You’re so much better than those racist Americans because you definitely only don’t want brown people because of FACTS and LOGIC.
