The fact of the matter is, if you are working class, you are far more likely to be threatened, and this includes the quality of earnings of your livelihood, by unfettered imigration

What exactly do you mean?

Your wages are depressed, your employment made more precarious, your bouts of unemployment more persistent, just speaking to livelihood. Add to this the future livelihood of your children, themselves impacted by the quality of education they get and which tends to deteriorate in inverse proportion to the time schoolmasters need to focus on integration-related tasks.

This all being the existential underpinnings of the angst which tends to manifest itself on the surface as complaints about "differentness" (smells, different personal dress, personal insecurity, overcrowded housing in the apartment next door, et c.)

The Hun is always either at your throat or at your feet. Winston Churchill
