That was obvious ever since they claimed asylum seekers that had followed the legal asylum process were “illegal immigrants” and society and the media just went along with that phrasing despite it being factually incorrect.
I wish all comments in political threads required a reference for any claims made.
Here's a report on it with many examples: https://humanrightsfirst.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Stok...
Well, when they claim that X million illegal immigrants entered the country despite them supposedly not being in the system and thus not countable, and the numbers line up with asylum seeker numbers, and they do things like cancel asylum seekers status[1] or releases criminals to go after asylum seekers[2] its hard not to come to that inference.
