I truthfully, honestly, intellectually cannot believe that it is 2015, and people still hold the opinion of this being a thing. I don't mean this to say the xenophobic asshat that believes these things is stupid (although, he fucking is), I just mean that believing in the job-stealing immigrant means you're willingly ignorant of how any part of immigration or the economy works solely to meet your standards and beliefs and justify a reason to hate other cultures.
