I say I'm for reasonable amounts of legal immigration and not mass legal immigration and, in your case, they say "how are you for immigration are you dumb?!" It's like adjectives don't exist for them.
I can get them to explain back to me what a reasonable amount of immigration means and what mass immigration means. But they can't think with them side-by-side in their brain.
And I don't think they're pretending to not get it. It's that same kind of "how would you feel if you hadn't eaten breakfast" thing where they can't even understand the concept that an adjective can change the meaning of something.
But even if you had said “reasonable”, you still aren’t staring your opinion honestly. I’m assuming you oppose any immigration, legal or otherwise, that threatens to upset the native culture or demographics of the host nation, yes? So say that. Explicitly.
Instead, you deploy obscurant qualifiers like “reasonable”. Who defines what is reasonable? Everyone defines it for themselves. So you’ve advocated for what, precisely? An unfixed position that will garner a lot of support from people who imagine you agree with them. Maybe you should run for office.
Pretty much exactly what I'm talking about here.

That was you in your previous comment.

Here's the abstract for you: you're too dumb to understand what I wrote.
It's not your fault, probably, but that's just how it is. Get over it and move on.
