An uncomfortable truth, Julie, and one that needs to be pointed out regularly. So much of the "us vs. them" of immigration policy and popular sentiment depends on unstated assumptions that the "us" includes just the people who look like us (i.e., the people in charge of making the decisions). In a country that has recently lost over a million people to Covid, you might think that people would be open to adding more immigrants. But it doesn't work like that.
