Your statement is appallingly elitist. Unchecked immigration is a legitimate concern for the middle and working class
Not sure how it’s elitist… I guess I could say i am an unskilled labourer by day and it’s a concern for me and my cohort. Or just suggest that not all the ‘facts’ that politicians spread about immigration come to pass… hence real and imagined.

Maybe politicians should listen to voters, real voters with real concerns.

Which part is imaginary?

Ok. I’ll pick - the drug crisis is the result of illegal migration.
To quote Mike Johnson:
“America is at a breaking point with record levels of illegal immigration. We have lethal drugs that are pouring into our country at record levels.”

Johnson never said the drug crisis is caused by illegal immigration. He implied it is exacerbated by illegal immigration from Mexico

“Our southern border is already overwhelmed with illegal migrants and dangerous drugs.”

Implied? That seems like conflagration.

The drug crisis is not relevant. The more pressing issue is 10,000 illegal entry daily
