Axios Discovers White Nationalists Use 'Immigration' as Codeword for 'Brown People'
Funny how 'legal immigration' becomes problematic the moment it doesn't involve people from countries whose national sport is colonialism. The article highlights Stephen Miller's 'Import communists, become communists' rhetoric and the Heritage Foundation's Kevin Roberts bemoaning 'more Dearborns,' referring to the first Arab-majority city in the U.S. and Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Minneapolis. Axios
dutifully reports this as a Republican shift to 'assimilation' over 'legal good and illegal bad.' One might wonder how assimilation is achieved when the new standard screens for 'good character' and 'ties to the country' while simultaneously slashing refugee admissions, particularly for anyone not from South Africa, and making every other visa harder to get. So, 'assimilation' actually means
'don't come here if you're not white, and if you are, best not make us uncomfortable.'
