I just noticed that one of the news communities here discourage the use of least biased/centrist news sources and I saw some people who put that they hate centrists in their bios.

All is that is kind of weird to me and does not make sense, as I thought that all sides should encourage ideas from centrists and least biased sources.

Is there is something that I miss here?

    I’m sure you understand this, but for others who don’t, the narratives around immigration in right wing media are pretty dishonest and manipulative, which is why many people are instinctively suspicious of the entire conversation.

    The reality is that every immigrant in the US, illegal or otherwise, actually contributes positively to GDP. The actual negative consequences of immigration are, in many ways, imposed by the regulation framework. If the US allowed every person to cross the border access to a legal path to citizenship, it would arguably fix almost every single issue which is associated with a large population of people who live outside the law. It would largely incentivize good behavior and cultural integration while reducing the economic forces which push people towards criminal activity.

      I wasn’t talking about US immigration issues. I don’t live in the US and I wouldn’t express my opinions about it. I was talking about EU issues - rapes, stabbings and general increase in crime. And I’m not taking this out of my ass or nut case media (which is worse than my ass). I’m looking at statistics and try to be as unbiased as possible.
