Anti-immigration rhetoric

Anti-immigration rhetoric involves language and messages that express skepticism, fear, or opposition to immigration. It often highlights concerns about economic competition, cultural change, or national security, and can portray immigrants negatively. Such rhetoric may emphasize stereotypes or misrepresent facts to justify restrictions or criticism of immigrants. While some arguments focus on lawful concerns or policy issues, this discourse can also foster division or stigmatize entire communities based on their origin. Understanding anti-immigration rhetoric involves recognizing its role in shaping public attitudes and policies regarding migration.
