    Maybe I’m misreading, but I don’t think @teppa is blaming immigrants. I think both things can be true: our politicians are taking advantage of hard working immigrants, exploiting them for cheap labour and increased housing demand/cost, which makes our GDP look better.

    It’s not the immigrants’ fault - we need immigration badly, and benefit greatly in many ways. But not if we’re taking advantage of people. We all deserve better.

      That persons every response on lemmy is pure anti immigration rhetoric. They’re not a real person. I think it’s Astro turfing or whatever

      To clarify, I agree with the comment I replied to. Just wanted to add context for the people down voting. I know immigration is a difficult topic right now and we all just want to see people treated well.
