anti-immigration sentiment

Anti-immigration sentiment refers to negative attitudes or opposition towards immigrants and immigration policies. People may fear that immigrants threaten job opportunities, cultural identity, or safety. Economic concerns, such as the belief that immigrants strain public services or impact wages, often fuel these feelings. Social factors, including cultural differences and perceptions of integration, can also contribute. Such sentiment may be influenced by political discourse, media portrayal, and personal experiences, leading to calls for stricter immigration controls and policies. It is a complex issue shaped by economic, social, and cultural dynamics within society.
