I think most people have both intellectual and deeper, visceral reasons for the policies they promote. When people ask me why I defend immigration...Yes, there are lots of good intellectual reasons, but also, *it's what I grew up with*.https://twitter.com/Noahpinion/status/1056206835810791425 …

I think lots of people grew up understanding that we valued immigration as a nation. But they perceived that it was accepted without a valid basis and discounted that. And although you have your intellectual reasons, I think a lot of proponents fail to enunciate them.

Yeah. I spend most of my time laying out the economics-and-sociology-based case for immigration, but I only rarely talk about my own personal feelings on the matter, so I wanted to do that for a change...

This is a really good point, but there is also a dark suggestion to it, inasmuch as he majority of white people in this country grow up largely segregated from black people.

Well put. I grew up in small-town Ohio and this is my experience as well. Frankly, I’ve never been able to wrap my head around this irrational hatred of The Other. It crude and unnecessary. And it’s deeply self-contradictory coming from Americans.
