I don't know why you insist on spreading this ignorance all over HN, this really isn't the place for your rhetoric.
Moreover, your comment history has many cases of being uncivil to others, as well as using HN for political battle. We ban accounts that do these things, so would you please stop doing them? They destroy the things that this site is supposed to be for.
You say this everywhere, we discussed this already. You have an unfounded, ignorant view of immigration. You are so locked into your position that it doesn't matter what you are shown, you will ignore it and instead fall back to your ignorant position.
And please, tell me why a tech news aggregator is the place for ignorant anti-immigration rhetoric?
It's not easy to immigrate, and often smarter, better educated people are the ones who get to immigrate. It's a benefit for the country that gets a lot of immigrants (i.e. The US benefits from this a lot), and a detriment to the country that loses them. Often called brain drain.
Employers can choose who to hire, a smart employer won't care if the candidate is born in the same country as you, it has absolutely no bearing on their quality as a human, or the work they complete.
If you live in North America, aside from the aboriginals, everyone is descended from, or directly an immigrant. What makes you so much better than someone else looking to move?
Again, a tech news aggregator is not a place for ignorant opinions on, frankly, humans.
You also haven't answered why you feel this way.
Aren't you are attacking him for something he didn't say here?
> All that happened is we were told we need immigration instead
What do you infer from this? It's pretty obvious.
This isn't the first time I've ran into this person.
Because it seems you don’t even care to read before you attack.
As I mentioned before the facts are correct at least where I live.
The conclusions you can draw aren't necessarily correct.
But I think it would be correct to say that reducing the number of "native" westerners wouldn't help if they were replaced by an equal amount of other people with the same level of consumption.
The facts are also that it is hard to migrate, and that immigrants normally have to be highly educated.
By "native" you don't mean aboriginal, do you? At the end of the day we are all just people, and it really shouldn't matter to any of us where they were born as long as they are moral and respect laws.
We ban accounts that do this repeatedly, and yours has. Moreover we've warned you before.
My feelings are irrelevant - they make my points neither more nor less valid.
And your points are not valid, your point is simply that you don't want immigration. You aren't replying to facts about immigrants and immigration besides that it happens, and that people want it. We've all been immigrants at some point, so I don't see where you could possible come from in feeling so strongly about disallowing people from improving your country.
- western families have fewer kids
- some politicians - at least in some countries in the West - tells people we need immigration
You might not like it and as usual correlation doesn't prove causation.
That still doesn't give you the right to be uncivil here.
And s/he did so without accusing anyone of being "unfounded, ignorant".
And without accusing anyone of being "so locked into your position that it doesn't matter what you are shown, you will ignore it and instead fall back to your ignorant position."
Was it anti-immigration? I guess so. Was it off topic? Possibly, I'll let the mods decide.
But you are the one who bring the accusations.
I know s/he is locked in their position because of how often they bring it up in threads all over HN.
It doesn't matter if I'm making an accusation. The other poster comments frequently on immigration on HN.
This is plain wrong (edit: as can be proved by looking up the definitions.)
If you said racist, then I would agree.
But there are a number of good reasons to be sceptical to certain kinds of large scale migrations.
Edit:
I know s/he is locked in their position because of how often they bring it up in threads all over HN.
You have just admitted to the same in this very thread.
It doesn't matter if I'm making an accusation. The other poster comments frequently on immigration on HN.
Commenting on immigration is not a crime. If you think a comment is somehow against the guidelines then flag it: the mods here are pretty fair (and can flame people way better than anyone of us).
Where was large scale migration ever mentioned? It's hard to migrate, that is a fact.
>Commenting on immigration is not a crime.
Neither is replying to a comment on immigration.
