People like Pavlov dont even put a lot of effort anymore into their blatant lies, thats whats even wors than the fact they are trying to spread those ies at all.
When American foreign policy works, it works amazingly well (HIV/AIDS work in Africa, the Marshall Plan in Europe, and so on). But when it goes pear shaped, it creates conditions that make people want to get out of their own countries and go guess where.

Whats the difference between immigration and "mass immigration" anyway? 10k? 30k? 100k? 1000k?
We do have the same shit here in Germany. The AfD sorta guys complainung about too much immigration (and secretly planning for the deportation of millions!) yet:
- A recent census showed that there are 1mio less people living in Germany than previously thought
- Immigration (particularly from Ukraine etc.) has dropped to "usual" low levels we had in the past
- AfD scores best with the immigration dogwhistle in the states of eastern Germany, while recent statistics clearly show an overwhelming majority of imigrants living in western Germany
Ditto the UK and Reform trying to stir up panic over immigration. The Tories seem to be falling for it for some reason.
