    What is happening now is we’re importing people into the country that want to be in America … but have no interest in being Americans, and that’s very different and to disparage the comments is to chill the conversation so that we can continue to bring in more people that we never met that are un-American,” Perry said, according to the recording.

    TBH, a lot of migrants to the west do not share my progressive, secular values and that bothers me a bit. It’s also forbidden to speak of on the left. To be intolerant of misogynist and homophobic religious nutters from elsewhere is racism of course. Obviously it’s not a conspiracy, just economics driving people to where the money is, but can we not admit that it has an effect on the culture?

      To write off the “other” as “misogynist and homophobic religious nutters” is about as white supremacist as it gets here in the dear ole’ west - it doesn’t surprise me that leftists aren’t interested in what you have to say.
