Okay, first of all, I was questioning your assertion. We should always be willing to critically examine our beliefs, or we’d still be beholden to the divine right of kings.

Second, while I appreciate that that’s the current state of affairs, I think that no small part of it is due to Overton window drift and nobody being willing to stick their neck out and present a bold alternative vision for people to adopt. All we have is “Mexicans bad” and everything from “Mexicans bad lite” to “[pride flags][si se puede] Mexicans okay ish”. You don’t see anyone calling for taking a hammer to the system that makes immigration so fucked up in the first place.
