    That is mainly because the fear of migration tends to sound completely bat shit crazy when put into words, at least at the levels that aren’t related to climate change making large parts of Earth’s warm and dry regions uninhabitable.

      How so? Immigration at mass is at least a culture shock, a great shift in political power, and a great import of unfamiliar language. Sometimes it leads to a shift in crime rate, the abuses of the refugee system and physical conflicts between cultural groups. The immigration groups often have a lesser education background when compared to the local residents.

        Mainly because people who are anti-immigrant moan about “unbearable” rates of immigration at immigration rates far below 1% of the existing population and have prejudices like the ones in your comment about immigrants being criminals or replacing the local culture or language even at those comparatively low numbers.
