The thing to note about anti-immigration activists is that *it does not matter where the immigrants come from*.
In the US the major focus is on Mexicans and other Spanish-speakers. They are seen as endangering the "white" body politic. Some people who advocate such positions are of German, Irish, Polish extraction - all of whom in the past were seen in the US as verminous.
In Europe the usual attack is on various Muslim immigrant groups, even though those immigrants come from massively varying Muslim countries (Morocco/ Algeria/ Turkey/ South Asia) - all with massively varying forms of Islam.
The point here it is not the immigrants who are the common problem: the common problem lies with the anti-human attitudes of the anti-immigrant activists.
