Because billionaires control the media and tell people that the immigrants are the source of all their problems

Blaming immigrants for billionaire-driven problems is like yelling at the waiter because the chef burned your steak.

The greatest trick the rich ever pulled is convincing the poor that the source of their pain is racial divide, instead of class.

How do you pay your income tax if you’re illegal? Honest question.

Easy, because the media doesn’t say that they pay taxes, the media says they get all these benefits for free and free housing and showcases the fee that are criminals to justify a stance of hate against them all.

Because:

Hard working people from exotic and fascinating countries tirelessly toiling to improve the environment and quality of life for those around them? In MY community??

They believe what their boss and their boss’ boss’ boss’ cable news channel tell them: that it’s illegal immigrants that have crippled the labor market and not the dismantling of the New Deal and redefinition of anti-trust under Reagan

Something about poisoning the blood of the country and crap.

Literally paying taxes without representation if you’re a green card holder/permanent resident.

Because they would rather be the billionaire.

The same people that think Trickle Down economics will work

The billionaires have convinced the poor that LBGQT and Trans people are more important than the economic welfare of the poor. That unfortunately is the fault of the poor and their lack of awareness and education that they can be fooled into supporting the billionaires rather than their own economic interests. So ultimately a failure of the intelligence of the American voter.

Racism and the wishful thinking that one day they’ll be billionaires is the issue

Some billionaires told me they were dangerous.

“No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people”-P.T. Barnum

Brown people. They don’t like brown people

Its very easy to understand when you consider that their feelings are not based on logic but on racism.

Why blame the rich white guy you never see when you can blame the brown immigrant you see every day

Because they want to be like the millionaires, not realizing they are much more alike with the illegals paying taxes.

Nobody hates legal immigrants but those who choose to be illegal deserve the anger of those who pay for resources they consume. No free rides for anyone.

It’s the same people who blithely vote farther own self-interests

Because stupid people love to punch down to feel better about themselves.

They’re excusing themselves, for one day they too shall be billionaires.

That’s what happens when the billionaires control the media. They convince the stupid that there’s a border crisis every four years.

Can’t I just hate them both?

People are too overworked, undereducated, and overwhelmed while living in isolated communities to gain a well rounded life experience. Economic Desperation often breeds xenophobic & racist tendencies or makes them vulnerable to the messaging from billionaire media syndicates. It’s A perfect combo to exploit fear and hatred to be weaponized and redirected towards vulnerable groups so they don’t/can’t see how the corrupt elite and economic structures are the ones who are directly the cause of thier communities economic problems.

Or they are like just rich sociopaths who have found success in an economic system designed to help fast track them to the top. Either way it’s clearly an effective process to easily divide people so they can’t or won’t band together to oust the bad actors.

Humanity is often driven by powerful emotions. Fear/Hate/Desperation will often shut down the ability to think critically. That’s why the news is constantly trying to enrage you or scare you. No time to evaluate things critically if you’re unable to pay the bills, eat, survive and you’re constantly being bombarded by messaging that is telling you to be scared and to be mad. And then, when some charlatan comes along and promises he will make all the problems go away, people in their desperation/fear/hate will go with it.

MAGA will reply with: iT’s OnLy tHe IlLegAls!

JD Vance answered that beautifully with regards to the Haitians in Springfield: I don’t care, they suit my narrative.

So don’t fall for their line of illegal (undocumented) vs dreamers vs documented vs … their leaders have lumped them all in together.

You know, when Hitler took power, one of his political platforms was the outright lie that Jews were politically dominant within the German chancellery. At the time of his ascendancy, there was ONE JEW within the German chancellery! You see where I’ve gone with this…

Op, you need to explain your title, because I cannot understand why you think it’s logical to hate on immigrants and not on billionaires.

They think Billionaires are have what they have do to meritocracy rather systemic inequality

Propaganda.

Since I’m an idiot, I’m going to accept the false equivalency and the straw man and type out an emotionally charged reply that is going to change the world.

One is an aspirational goal while the other is not.

Change the system so they do pay. The system is rigged so the rich can write off almost everything and you would too in that position. Change the damn system. Immigrants that pay taxes are Americans but how many 10 of millions just abuse the system????
