@christia_allard no-one is illegal. The good immigrant rhetoric is Fascist bullshit. Scapegoating should not be whitewashed with "good word choices".
@christia_allard we must resist the idea that immigration is a crime, that's straight from the far-right agenda. Framing asylum seekers (or even more refugees or non-refused asylum seekers) as "good immigrants" is giving in to xenophobic narratives.
@christia_allard actually in my book migrant refers to seasonal migrants like birds or seasonal agricultural workers. You are here for good so you are an immigrant.
