    That’s what I once thought but I’ve changed my mind. Concern about porous borders is not a right-wing media invention, it’s about values, it’s deeply held, and until governments get a hold of the problem they’re going to fall one by one to idiotic populists. And populist governments will be far worse for our privacy among much else.

      To me it does have the appearance of a right-wing media invention. I live in a city with many immigrants and the only problems that exist as a result are caused by immigration enforcement.

      Right-wing populism (or fascism, if it devolves that far) is obviously a problem but why do you think these people will go away if you capitulate to their harmful demands?
