Reddit Comment: I've often wondered the same thing myself. Often these things tend to contradict eachother when you apply the underlying rationale across the board.

To use an example from abroad: it would seem more rational for the "right" to support looser immigration policies seeing as they value individual and market freedoms and although the "left" rational on this can be a bit more doubleedged, you'd think there would be at least some more support for restrictive immigration aimed at securing the interests of native workers.

In my view (albeit worthless), the descriptions "left" and "right" have become reduntant in a post-industrial post-Cold War context but they are still used today and are therefore a little bit mangled. Moreover, there has been a trend in political behviour since the 1970s (and (especially since the 1990s) toward more erratic political behaviour. These two factors, I believe, have contributed to political identities being packaged and marketed to an unstable electorate.

How these packages are put together, I have no idea. Which is a pity because that's really the heart of your question. I would love to see some proper academic research on the topic.

Nevertheless, I feel I should add that the phenomon I describe above is most pronouced among unsophisticated voters and voters in an American context. I feel that more sophisticated voters and those in a European context are more likely to see themselves as tending closer to "Liberal", "Socialist" or "Conversative" and adopt a worldview based on more a more stable set of principles.

FYI: My spellchecker isn't working and I'm not bothered going through the steps needed to rectify the situation, just know any spelling mistakes would have been dealt with if I were a better person.

Reddit Comment: Depends what you call significantly worse.

I live in Scotland, and we have never been warned about going outside because of the air quality. This happens in Poland. Heavy industry and coal are a part of life. Leaving your country for 3-5years to save for a deposit or to build your own house in Poland is a reality. Building on top of your parents house is a reality. Paying for medication. Working Saturdays is what makes or breaks you.

Poland is not like much of Western Europe - life is hard.

Reddit Comment: In my opinion it needs to be a combination of things in a particular sequence:

1. Strengthen the border to make further future illegal crossings less possible.

2. Deport existing illegals

3. Implement and enforce strict and stiff penalties for companies that hire illegals

Reddit Comment: Same to you.

This is complicated stuff. I'll have to make another post asking whether are voting systems that can elect moderates while encouraging voters to focus on their honest favorites, since that's more where I'm leaning after this thread. But this voting system criteria talk will take me a while to digest.

Reddit Comment: Sometimes people will pick at almost any excuse "its the banks" to avoid admitting the real problem: rates are going up because in the tax cut riddled budget borrowing is increased.

Not unlike other law enforcement officials are tasked with handling immigrants who remain in the country illegally.
