    All the downvotes here show there’s really an issue on the left in staunchly denying there’s any issue with unlimited illegal immigration. To be clear, like most of Lemmy, I am very much on the left side of the political spectrum myself but I live in a city which now houses a majority “non-native” (whatever you want to call it) population and it very much stresses social cohesion. Until we find an answer for very rapid integration of migrant populations I don’t see how this is sustainable.

      Maybe the left is a bit staunchly but I downvoted because I don’t see how the right is the only one willing to do something. (at least in Germany)

      Yes I’m very left wing. High taxes, high government spending.

      But I always want to live in my country that feels like my country.

      The more I have travelled (in the west and outside) the more I realised that the west way of life, my way of life is what I want to preserve. I’ve lived in my own country and felt like an outsider because the city (at least downtown) is predominantly Islamic.

      There is nothing wrong with saying I want my country to look out for our citizens first, then our friends then everyone else.
