I was thinking about a funny sketch about the types of people who oppose immigration, something like:

  • Type 1. The "law = right" guy: "Well, you know there's a huuge difference between legal immigrants human beings and... illegal aliens, which are basically monsters from outer space, although they both work, pay taxes, contribute to the economy, help maintain the population pyramid, etc. But one followed the law and the other did not, and as we all know the law is always right and moral, like that time when slaves were fleeing their masters after the act of 1850... you know that wasn't legal, and they had to return to their homes, much like the aliens now, because that's the legal thing to do ... and right."

  • Type 2. The "alternative" rightist: "We need to protect our people (except maybe communists, liberal, feminists, progressives, gay, transgender, non-virgin non-married women, and basically all sexual degenerates) from the extinction the circumcised lizards are planning! We whites are the most intelligent and powerful people, who have always been at the top of the hierarchy and..." show a family with brown skin moving to his neighborhood and happily waving at him "GENOCIDE GENOCIDE!! THOSE NON-WHITES EXISTING ARE LITERALLY GENOCIDING US, I CAN ALREADY SEE THEM FUCKING MY WIFE, MY DAUGHTER, AND ME WITH THEIR BIG SEXY BRown arms.. and oh yeah, that's so hot."

  • Type 3. The concerned humanitarian leftist: "I really care about the poor people you see, the undocumented immigrants who arrive here are only exploited by the evil rich who support open borders (which is a basically a Koch brothers proposal) only for their own gain! That's why instead of promoting the regularization of undocumented browns, I support blocking them from ever entering here, this rich country full of employment opportunities compared to theirs, so they can stay and not be exploited at their corrupt and poor countries! :D" show a Latino trying to pass the border and this guy at the border checkpoint -Please sir I only want to work here so I can make more money to maintain my family back in Guatemala, and help finance my son an education. And also because the local cartel is trying to kill me and I had to flee! -Oh, you poor fellow, I really really care about you, the poor oppressed proletariat of the world... that's why you should GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE! He kicks him out, and the Bernie Sanders in his shirt winks

  • Type 4. The immigrant who "waited in line": "I've waited more than 20 years and spent thousands of dollars I know none of the poor people in my country could ever afford, but I still think that everyone should have it as hard or harder than I because I don't know what empathy is, and if I already have what I need you can go FUCK RIGHT OFF. And also we should deport all of my illegal ex-countrymen, who I know didn't even have a chance to enter here legally because this country immigration policy is classist as hell and blocks the people who most need to immigrate from doing so legally, making them having to live here with fear from generations to come, because fuck their children too. Anyway, for the white people listening right now, I'd be happy to be your token minority, so you can use me to oppress the minorities who have it worse than I do."
