Actually I've got a positive story to share about immigrants. If you followed my thread detailing my armed robbery you would know the context. Well a person that works with me upon hearing the story decided to give me his bike for nothing and this wasn't a cheap bike (very high quality). The guy is an immigrant from Syria and his English wouldn't be described as highly proficient but he still helped me more than anyone else did. Even if a lot of my views expressed on this forum, might seem more aligned with right-wing viewpoints I would never demonise immigrants, I am only against mass immigration upon seeing how it has been mishandled and the damages it can cause to communities, like the area I got robbed in; an erstwhile affluent area turned to a ghettoised crime cesspit within a few generations.
Perhaps the reason why immigration has been handled so badly is because the immigrants themselves were not viewed as people by those in charge of immigration policies but rather as tax livestock and voting blocs for certain political parties looking to homogenise their influence?
