Greg Wycliffe - Immigration affects everything

In this episode, I speak to the founder of the anti-racist group "Stop Fake Patriots" about immigration and its impact in politics. We discuss the need to make immigration a central issue in politics and how to deal with it.

00:00:00.000 What do you think is missing the most in terms of, like, making re-migration more powerful and viable to actually be, like, actionable in politics?

00:00:08.320 Yeah, well, obviously, as it's going to go into mass politics, it's going to have to be connected to other issues.

00:00:14.680 Obviously, immigration is a top concern for voters across Europe consistently.

00:00:19.560 But also, you know, things like the economy, things like housing.

00:00:22.240 and as some of the speakers alluded to on almost all of those major issues I mean you can make an

00:00:29.580 argument that mass immigration is making those things worse whether it's in Ireland there's a 0.89

00:00:33.580 huge housing crisis at the same time we're increasing our population by about 3% a year

00:00:38.420 through immigration regardless of what plans political parties and parties on the left come

00:00:43.600 up with for public housing and bills you literally cannot meet the demand being created by immigration

00:00:48.600 so anything whether it's you know the funding of the welfare state housing um any of the top

00:00:55.240 concerns people have there is a way to make a policy argument that connects all of those things

00:00:58.680 to immigration and that's why you can see uh countries like denmark that are a bit less

00:01:03.380 ideological on this stuff which is you know their governments have just come out with reports and

00:01:07.260 it's like oh yeah diversity is actually making everything worse and they're actually doing

00:01:10.560 repatriation which is kind of incredible yeah how much of an obstacle do you think these kind of 0.95

00:01:17.020 like fake patriots are and what do you think the approach should be for people who are true

00:01:23.340 nationalists? Yeah, they're obviously a huge obstacle. I mean, you look at like Maloney in

00:01:27.820 Italy, he was really elected on the promise of tax on immigration and it's just completely

00:01:32.420 betrayed that promise. You know, what's to be done? Well, obviously you need to change the

00:01:37.160 personnel. We need to make the meta-political change that makes this, you know, the central

00:01:42.340 issue that it's not just as often is for conservative parties one issue among

00:01:46.540 many you know we'll deal with immigration and then it's a little bit

00:01:49.240 unpopular okay we'll just deal with you know illegal immigration we'll do

00:01:52.360 something tokenistic you obviously need ideologically to make this the you know

00:01:56.800 pillar the front and centerpiece of right-wing movements and then obviously

00:02:00.940 that will translate down to politics but like in the short term you know political

00:02:05.620 parties betraying their promises that's the nature of politics all we can really

00:02:09.400 do is just attack them from the right and just you know continually expose them as much as possible

00:02:13.160 because obviously a lot of um you know less informed right-wing people they just see attacks

00:02:19.480 from the mainstream media on these people assume they're on their side so that's why you know

00:02:23.080 oftentimes we all we almost have to attack the fake right more than the left right because

00:02:27.400 our side know the left is a problem sometimes they don't recognize the problem on our own side
