    That’s not a fiscal policy. A country or block of countries can be right about 1 thing and wrong about others.

        The number one argument made against migrants is whatever that person thinks sounds the least like “I’m just xenophobic”

          Right but the politicians argument is always “our social system cant afford it”. A fiscal argument.

              If it relates to the governments expenditures then it is a fiscal argument. If the policy is based on such a fiscal argument then it is a fiscal policy.

                You start out in 1954 by saying, “n!gger, n!gger, n!gger.” By 1968 you can’t say “n!gger”—that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, forced busing, states’ rights, and all that stuff, and you’re getting so abstract. Now, you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites.… “We want to cut this,” is much more abstract than even the busing thing, uh, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “n!gger, n!gger.”

                  Right so you agree that the fiscal policies and anti-migration laws targeting specific races are inextricably linked?

                    This is “states rights” levels of pedantic, incorrect stubbornness.

                    What they wrote down into law was fiscal, but just saying “fiscal policy” completely ignores the whole context to an absurd abstract degree, and this is intentional.

        Seems to be that they’re not integrating here and creating a parallel society and increase in crime.
