Remember the Bypass Method when arguing with a supporter of anti-immigration rhethoric.

Do not attack them.
Do not fact-check them.
Bypass their points and make your own POSITIVE argument.
Be emotive.
Based in fact, but don't push data down their throats.

Love how BSKY decided these were "graphic" images.
