There is a history of immigration waves in this country, same as any other country that's had noticeable imports of people.
The most recent 'wave' is almost always universally despised/feared/ridiculed.
Normally by the actual previous wave or their children.
All we can do, one by one, is embrace that people are different, universally, and learn to, if not accept, then at least tolerate said differences and keep an eye on the future we need to build instead of wallowing in the hate and distrust we currently live in.
