My “catchphrase” is something I personally said, not someone else’s rhetoric. I would ask that you do not make assumptions about what I am saying based on what other people say. If the people who are Islam have a culture that is compatible with that country, let them in. If they are of a culture that practices or supports sharia law and your country believes in women’s freedoms, they probably should not be accepted.

If a neo Nazi said “the sky is blue”, would you say everyone who says the sky is blue is repeating neo Nazi rhetoric?

Ideally different parties should have more in common than what separates them. Otherwise you get what has been happening between Republicans and Democrats in the USA. Willingly introducing that separation is foolishness.

Was it functional the 30 years before the increase in immigration?

No it doesn’t. It assumes that countries have synergistic cultures.

I’m not saying one culture is better than another. I’m saying if the cultures are incompatible, you shouldn’t force them together.

In other words, if you are a household that is obsessed with a particular football team, you probably shouldn’t get a roommate that is obsessed with your team’s rivals. Any time football is brought up, you will be at odds. I’m not saying liking one football team over the other is the correct choice, just that incompatible beliefs breeds hostility.

If the social systems are breaking down from being overloaded, it sounds like too many immigrants were accepted and some need to be sent back.

Absolutely not. Countries should not accept people who are incompatible with their culture. That just causes division.

Imagine being in the middle of a desert when this happens.

The average credit card interest rate is 25%. Yes people shouldn’t borrow money they can’t pay back. However that doesn’t change the fact that interest rates on credit cards are wildly high and entrap people in a loop of only paying the interest off. Bankruptcy is their only hope of escape from that debt cycle.
