The problem is none of this is verifiable. Illegals immediately claiming asylum upon capture, schools and cafes banning pork etc. Obviously all these stories are possible and may well be true however there's a huge lack of verifiable evidenced but plenty of rumour/supposition and all too often that's enough to get people believing. The irony is these viewpoints would be greatly strengthened if proof could be provided.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not necessarily pro-immigrant or anti-borders. In fact I agree there's a huge problem with immigration being hidden behind political correctness and 'hand-wringing'. I just see too many 'right wingers' expressing negative, aggressive and yes sometimes racist views whilst at the same time witnessing far too many 'left wingers' simply ignoring and being blind to legitimate opposition views and automatically taking the side of who/what they consider to be oppressed/disadvantaged. For either of these 'types', evidence is rarely needed other than "I've heard they did such-and-such the other day".
Plus if you're not 100% in one camp they automatically consider you 100% in to the other.
Complete madness.
