I’m against illegal immigration because I don’t think it’s fair my grandad worked 16-20 hours a day in mills and factories and started his life from nothing as an immigrant in a completely new country, but now people can come over illegally lie about being asylum seekers and get everything handed to them on a plate

Not to mention it is not fair that people who pretend to need asylum are hogging resources meant for people who are truly in danger. And their jackass behaviour sours communities on bringing in real refugees. I'm against fraudulent asylum seeking because I want those resources to go to the people they are meant for.

Maybe focus on making society better for immigrants than punching down and valourising your grandad's exploitation, the wealthy use divide and conquer to control

On top of that they make genuine asylum seekers look bad
