Medium: Blaming Immigrants For Everything

In Austria, there are two major problems facing the country. The first problem is with pensions and the future outlook of older people. The second problem is the rising rate of unemployment.

And in Austria, the right-wing Freedom Party is claiming that it will fix all of these by closing the borders, not integrating refugees, and enacting laws that give preferential treatment to Austrians first. It’s exactly the same narrative that we hear from other right-wing parties in the rest of Europe and the US. [...]

The key to this future is to stop being misinformed. It’s not about what political party you vote for, or whether you are leaning to the right or the left. It’s about looking at the data and realize when you are being mislead.
