Aside from racism. I mean economically/socially, what issues does too much immigration cause?

    Aside from racism, it is usually the belief that the new immigrants will either be economic competition for those with jobs or a drain on welfare.

      That combined with a lack of available housing are the answers I see most often.

        Gee, if only we could find the labor to build some extra housing. Must be that the immigrants taking our jobs just don’t want to work these days.

          You also need money, materials, and space to build housing though and I doubt all immigrants are carpenters, electricians, plumbers, and all the other professionals needed to build homes.

      in my country that’s exactly what is happening, they are taking the simpler jobs for much cheaper, and lot of our “native” people has/had jobs like this.

      ironically, this country is among the loudest in anti-immigration in the EU, all the while they are immigrating people from neighboring countries exactly for cheap labor.
