Does it seem to you that other states always blaming Californian refugees shitting up their state sounds a lot like blaming a bogeyman rather than acknowledging the shenanigans they've always had in their own state? Sorry if this was strangely worded - it's just so hard to put this feeling into words

Not being from the southwest I’m not really sure. It’s difficult to discern the truth and there’s a lot of conflicting information I haven’t taken the time to digest. I would say that California’s quasi-militant sanctuary posture makes that accusation plausible.

I’m an open borders guy myself though I’m nuanced enough to recognize the conflict between this position and a state using migrants to become increasingly authoritarian. A state that has set up generous welfare programs and government/corporate industrial complexes to feed on masses of illegals at the expense of the citizenry they abuse as tax mules is a big fucking problem.

This doesn’t seem that complex of a relationship to comprehend but for whatever reason this is a debate where people are stacked on the extremes.

Either you’re absolutely open borders or you want to build the wall.

As long as there are progressives using social strain and various government programs and complexes to concentrate power in the state, I understand completely the desire/need to control immigration.

What I wish many on the right would recognize is that the vast majority of migrants are just looking for a better life like most of their own ancestors who immigrated to the states in the last 200 years. Don’t be hostile to them, be hostile to the government that’s using them.

See, that’s what the app is perfect for.
