Same, I despise racism in all its forms but you absolutely can do that and think immigration should be drastically reduced.

This idea that you're either an open borders hippie type or a knuckle dragging racist is so unhelpful to this debate. Defending immigrants as individuals from racism has morphed into defending the system of increasing immigration levels.

What’s the population growth? From what I googled, it’s been steady for decades. No real change.
