that dei policies won’t create a two tier society that people resent

If DEI was really ineffective and bad why are investment banks sticking with it? Those groups love money and hate doing anything that loses money…

that immigrants are a benefit to the society’s they join.

This is true in most cases. I’d argue the immigrants from Christian Europe to “The New World” were detrimental to the societies they encountered as the unfounded racial supremacist notions of the Europeans enabled the murder of those societies but in the modern age all statistics point to immigrants being a net positive from a capitalist’s perspective.

that being soft on crime and mental health diagnoses will reduce crime and improve people’s quality of life.

A ton of crime can be attributed to Reagan’s shuttering of the nation’s asylums. Tough on crime legislation has little evidence to support its effectiveness.

that following the rule of law allows isn’t a disadvantage.

If we followed the rule of law we would have different people in power. The GOP has refused to enforce the law at every significant turn in the last 25 years.

immigrants and equal rights are compatible.

Why wouldn’t that be the case?

Yeah but sometimes they're REALLY BAD at making money lol. They just have so goddamn much money that it's difficult to lose.

Which has nothing to do with why they intend to keep DEI policies
