You're falling for it. Of course reasonable immigration is reasonable. The issue is they are twisting the narrative. Immigrants are not to blame for the things they are protesting about, such as housing costs and cost of living. Immigration certainly doesn't help those things, but it provides many other benefits, which are generally greater than any negatives.
The reason they are being called racist is because these rallies were started by neo Nazis. Have a look at their website. The flyers they have for printing to hand out in your neighborhood call out specifically Indian immigration.how is Indian immigration somehow worse? Before that it was Chinese. Before that it was Muslim. Before that it was Vietnamese.
They don't have any solution for the problems they raise. Cut off immigration and our economy is in the toilet. Housing market collapses? Nobody can get a loan for this cheaper housing and nobody can afford other things either.
Yes, they blame the current government as well as immigrants. ~~~~They fail to blame the precious government whose policies were largely more to blame. They fail to acknowledge that the greens policies have mostly been about addressing their concerns without vilifying immigrants for many years.
Remember, they are using dog whistle language too. March for Australia for them means March for white Australia. It doesn't mean that for all those that turned up. It means that for the organisers.
