I just don’t understand how you can be so blind to the fact that you’re the one being led by emotions, while the people who want limits on immigration are being led by reason. You like immigration and diversity because of how it makes you feel — it makes you feel noble and just and egalitarian, multicultural and tolerant, and probably a dozen other balmy soothing things.

But you’re blind to all the negative effects your countrymen endure to soothe your feelings — do you realize, for example, that for every ~10% increase in potential workers for a given job, wages fall by ~3%? When you look at job sectors which approach a ~100% immigrant workforce, what you’re seeing are jobs where the wages have been depressed by 30% or much more; that’s why your countrymen are no longer working them, because they can’t afford to work for 30% or more less than what they should actually be paid (their costs of living as established locals with families to support are much higher than those of individual immigrant millennials). So your soothed feelings come at the cost of literally stealing from the pockets of your neighbors — especially those who’re poorest, with the least skills and education. You steal from the poor and needy of your own country by supporting mass immigration, so that you can make yourself feel good by giving to the people of other countries. And your countrymen who voted Leave are therefore the rational ones, making a decision based on the facts of their economic situation rather than on feelings.

And where does it end? How many immigrants are too few, enough, or too many? Africa alone is set to add at least 2 Billion-with-a-B more people over the next century — are they all to be welcome in Britain if they choose to come? And how many British can you displace by new arrivals before the culture starts being that of the new arrivals, with British values effectively overwhelmed and not transmitted to new generations? And, do problems like these — due entirely to uncontrolled mass immigration, combined with xenophilic attitudes like yours — not concern you:

Stop voting your feelings. Stop being an irrational xenophile. Stop hating your countrymen for not wanting their pockets picked to assuage the feelings and the guilt of people such as yourself. Most of all, stop blaming others for being irrational and voting based on feelings, when that’s what you yourself are doing.
