@JohnCleese@TheAliceSmith This could be the start of a Flying Circus skit where the police come through your door as soon as you tweet this. Revive Monty Python to protest western replacement!
These people complaining about immigrants clearly don’t do the takeaway jobs, security work, delivery driving, or many other essential roles that immigrants fill every day. They don’t staff the NHS wards, where immigrants work tirelessly as nurses, carers, and support staff. And when it comes to skilled professions? They don’t hold the engineering degrees or medical qualifications that so many immigrants bring with them people who come here, serve the country, and earn their pay through real contributions.
If immigrants all left tomorrow, these racists would be left running around like headless chickens, completely lost. They have nothing else to offer. Without immigrants, these lazy, overweight complainers would just sit there whining because they won’t do the actual work themselves.
And let’s be honest these politicians making bold, empty promises are just fooling their supporters for votes. They never tell the full truth about how dependent the economy and services really are on immigrants. The racists lap it up because they’re already primed to believe this nonsense. In reality, if immigrants left, the country would grind to a halt, and all we’d hear is more crying from people who can’t face the facts.
@txgermanbre@esjesjesj I don’t know what history books you are reading but you seem very certain of this.
Are we shipping back the Pennsylvania Dutch, now? I’ll let William Penn know. I think he’d be surprised.
@txgermanbre@esjesjesj It’s a term that is fairly new so probably has a different definition for everyone that holds it. The one that makes the most sense is pre- vs post- Hart-Celler Act. Or maybe pre- vs post- ww2. I trace my heritage to the Winthrop Fleet and German 49-ers. All fought for the Union.
