Many Brits too! I know more than a few who would prefer to blame their own problems on the foreign man, as blaming someone else is always the easier option, albeit the more cowardly one.

Some of my elder relatives, who had to migrate from Spain to France and Switzerland to get out of poverty and a devastated country have this view too. Sad.
That's why it's called xenophobia. Fear of things that are different. But it's just fear at the end of the day. These people have been so destabilized by fiat that they are so scared and they not sure why. Foreigners is a easy scapegoat.
I think the global migrant crisis is one massive show. It's manmade and everything happening right now has been predictable for the last 2-3 years (same as the decline of fiat after the covid mess was predictable but it took the economy almost 5 years to catch up to the mess). The so called crisis is happening in too many places simultaneously as not be to deliberate. The destabilisation of currency and national security is happening to push all those new dystopian bullshit on us from digital ID to digital money, only censorship etc etc. I'm certain of this.
