I'm implying that our leaders don't want immigrants for the same reason they gut our educational funding, and that they attack our librarians. An educated population scares them.

The average immigrant has been educated (by school or by life) outside our controlling parties' spans of influence.

I'm from a country with a very narrow span of acceptable political ideas. The average imported person will expand our horizons, and weaken our fragile belief that our current two party system serves our best interests.
