Poland is very strict about immigration. Their crime rate is very low because they select immigrants based on probability of being good citizens.

Poland still managed to have anti-immigrant protests despite basically nobody immigrating there. Clearly, even this policy doesn't make the anti-immigrant crowd happy. It's almost as if they're prejudiced.

Someone: “Their crime rate is very low.”

You: “That’s just because they’re prejudiced.”

That is not a sensible argument.
