Temporary immigrants are the largest majority of that, and I, along with numerous economic studies, tend to agree that temporary immigration is poor.

Once again, however, it is still just a “hurr durr de brown peoples is takin err jerbs” stance.

The reason I know that this is what it boils down to is because TFW expansion has occurred under all governments, even the ones that scream populism.

It’s difficult to take people seriously who scream about immigration and then simultaneously go on to scream that I should vote for a party that … also supports massive TFW rates.

Is there a surplus of well paying jobs? Say…are there 5 million well paying jobs that are unfilled? Is there a surplus inventory of properties approaching 5 million extra homes? Is college enrollment experiencing 50% vacancies across the board?

No? Then why are you the first one mentioning brown people? Are you really that desperate to feel good about virtue signaling on a hacker news thread? Putting citizens first has nothing to do with disliking someone of another race, culture, or skin color. It is basic common sense.

I am talking about the actual policies of the governments involved and how I know that the actual policy means that your position is not based on the actual policy.

I understand why you chose to ignore the actual policy to virtue signal to your alt-right buddies, because the actual policy doesn’t align with you.

Conservatives are pro TFW expansion.

Liberals are pro TFW expansion.

PeePee is not “putting citizens first”. Their plan is to expand TFW because that’s what cronyism demands in order to suppress wages, as numerous economic studies show.

Like I said, anyone who is not putting citizens first on this is part of the bad cop good cop routine. I don’t care about peepee or any alt right goons and their own ulterior motives.

Can you please not post in the flamewar style to HN, and also please stop using HN for ideological battle? We're trying for something different here.

I'm not going to ban your account right now because it looks like you've also posted other things using HN in the intended spirit, but I saw quite a bit of this other kind of thing in your history too and that's definitely not ok.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
