#also before any canadians wanna say we arent as bad yes fhe FUCK we are we've ALSO been and ARE heinous to our immigrants

I started listening to a podcast called Citations Needed a bit ago and I'm listening to episodes on nativism and the US border and the way migrants looking for asylum or just your average immigrant is described is fucking heinous. People should not be referred to as hordes, everyone who can comprehend the meaning of words should know why alarmist language like that used to describe already vulnerable groups is Bad (unless they're brown or black I guess 🙄)

But the thing I don't get is the "immigrants are stealing our jobs!" thing and I don't get it because every year regardless of immigration thousands of people become legal age to work and for some reason we DONT see a bunch of hand wringing about teenagers entering the workforce and stealing jobs. I wonder why that is 🧐🧐🧐
