I'm still up in the air on my views on mass migration. But what I can't stand is seeing so many ignorant and misguided people letting themselves get their attention diverted away from the really pressing problems in society, by sensationalist propaganda.
At this point I probably still wouldn't say I just support uncontrolled mass immigration, but there are more pressing issues and I'm tired of "immigration!!" being the top issue on everyone's lips when, to be blunt, we have bigger shit to be worrying about. So yes, at this point I don't really care about immigration.
@abaris - That one's easy. The right-wing are getting savvy at using traditionally leftist languages of "rights" and "freedoms" to appeal to a tradtionally leftist voter base. I guess that's how Ukip got so popular in the first place. More distraction tactics.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
