I would like people to stop saying "genuine concerns about immigration." They are not genuine. They are, mostly, objectively wrong. Many people believe genuinely, objectively wrong things about immigration.
They do so, in part, because not enough people say they are wrong, instead saying things like "genuine concerns about immigration."
We have a massive problem with an information ecosystem heavily influenced by algorithms controlled by oligarchs. They feed people false claims that traditional media doesn't even try to counter. The Biden administration has begun to try to counter their power, but even those meager attempts are about to end.
Eventually, that power will be innovated away, probably, but we are in a real bad place for the foreseeable future.
