>Talking about "illegals", and expressing contempt for people who care about them.

I do have contempt for illegals and the people in the countries where they're illegally present who care about them and stymie attempts to remove said illegals. It's a gross violation of the social contract and I'm tired of people just hand waving it away like it's no big deal and we just have to accept it.

>Not that it matters for immigration policy, but Britain's food was greatly improved by immigration

I agree with you that it doesn't/shouldn't matter for immigration policy, but at the same time I've heard this argument used by people who brand themselves as pro-immigration as a reason why we can't do anything about illegal immigrants because if they're deported, who will cook their unique cuisine?

Why should anyone listen to you if you have contempt for others? That's the violation of the social contract.

You might see others acting with contempt - the more you see it, the more you need to stand up for something better.
