OK - a higher % of income parity

I don't favor out-of-control immigration, as this leads to crime and other problems that primarily benefit the 1% at the expense of the 99%. The 1% exploit the 99% when they can increase immigration for people who will work for them for cheaper wages. Republicans LOVE immigration but tell their supporters they hate it, as a way of supporting racism and other motivations what get people to vote. But the 1% in the US and Europe aren't really against immigration, as you may have seen. Many in the 99% are manipulated by the virtue signalling in news and social media to think about the welfare of those who try to immigrate. What we should remember is that jobs have to be available for these immigrants, or the 99% suffer. Centrist politicians (what few there are) who favor upholding strong immigration laws will help the 99%.

We know Republicans are full of shit. We tell you this all the time. And "racism" is a good motivation. There's nothing wrong with it. The problem are all the politicians who don't actually enact racist policies.

What we should remember is that jobs have to be available for these immigrants, or the 99% suffer.

I don't care if jobs are available for them or not, I don't want them in our countries because they're not white.

Anyway, I simply reject your whole 1% vs. 99% dichotomy. It's too simplistic. The 99% have almost nothing in common with each other. They're divided among racial lines. There's no common struggle at all.
