https://www.economist.com/open-future/2018/08/06/anti-immigration-like-pro-immigration-is-a-legitimate-political-position nice summary here.
Yes it is of course more complex, but the quality of the debate combined with a total lack of data annoys me greatly. Raising issues is fine, you see the EU nationals in the UK and UK nationals in the EU forming charities now that rights are threatened.
They point it out from their POV (I can't vote anymore now...this settled status is not great for me) others point it out from their POV, ok, with a good moderator and data we can all try to work something out.
Poland BTW is letting in people from the Phillipines cos they are Catholic. You could say this is for integration, but since the party in power atm is in bed with the Catholic Church, perhaps it rather is about control...

If you haven't read, it 21 Lessons for the 21st Century by Yuval Noah Harari has a chapter on immigration/migration.
He breaks down three conditions / terms which effectively govern the social contract with immigrants, which then feeds into the debate. It's worth reading as an interesting way to unpack the different view points.
