They don't, what we see online is not reality. A few folks on twitter do not represent entire races.

Perhaps you're right but that doesn't mean we must let them immigrate here in our homelands. I think we both agree with this.

I am not a part of this conversation, but I would specifically like to address this:

what we see online is not reality

This is not correct. Obviously, those people you see on Twitter are no less real than you or me. Dismissing what you see online just because it is online is a mistake. Instead, you should be looking to identify how the online activities of various groups map to their offline activities in places like HR departments, government institutions, NGOs, media agencies etc and see for yourself where power resides, how it is used, to what end, and to whose benefit.
