Although much extreme discourse and even vitriol is found at the poles, we still know little about how individuals make sense of immigration as “complicated” and even “too complex” to make sense of. Such issues are important to address if we are to better understand how individuals arrive at centrist viewpoints and see themselves as between the poles.
