Had a very similar back-and-forth with all these stereotypes with this account @ kravietz @ agora. echelon. pl
All the standard BS racist narratives about crime (no stats provided), "incompatible values" (few details provided), mutual aid practices, work ethic (no data provided), strains on public services (no details), & tax evasion.
Favored tactic is group punishments for the acts of a few. Tarnishing everyone in a group for rare or old incidents.

The subsequent conversations with the mayor of Portland, Oregon are hilarious.

She's looking out her office window at a bright, sunny, peaceful street.
Trump's looking at a TV screen of footage of riots 8 years ago.
Historical events cherry picked to sound like it happened yesterday. Evangelicals still harping about sharia law & a 9th century atrocity in Cordoba

Yugoslavia dissolved into internecine civil war using these types of disinformation tactics. Old grudges revived for elite benefit.
