May. 6th, 2016 06:06 pmI can't understand why anti-immigration policies are considered acceptable, let alone why they're popular, and why human rights are considered unacceptable extremism.
It's basically Jim Crow, but usually based on borders instead of ancestry.
I think both use the same arguments: that nations have "sovereign rights" which override people's rights, that immigrants' values and/or black people's values would undermine America, that critics are outsiders trying to interfere, that discrimination and deportations are necessary and/or aren't violence, etc.
