what about those who think kicking out all immigrants is helping? Does it matter that they think they're doing the right thing?

Yes. Then you can address their concerns & actually have a shot at changing their minds. Yelling 'racist' won't do that.

I think it's a mistake to think that everyone actually cares about being right and is willing to change. Motivation is selfish.

Usually people are motivated on behalf of the people they love.

Yes, that is fairly selfish. Seeing your family as the only people that matter, nevermind Syrians born into civil war.

It doesn't address how to change their minds, just that it doesn't end with racism. I don't care that there's a reason beyond.

Then you won't be able to engage & change minds. Understand first. Go from there. 1 example using Haidt. https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2017/02/the-simple-psychological-trick-to-political-persuasion/515181/ …

you don't think I've tried the empathetic approach? They simply do not care about them. At all.

I've literally said, we all were immigrants once, and they just want a life like we have. They're being oppressed.

Try reading Righteous Mind & getting a good understanding of how conservative moral frameworks work.Then you can speak its language
