There are several causes for a sizable portion of people in all nations, both western and eastern, to despise immigrants. These are only a few of the following:

1. The largest myth regarding immigration is that they rob the native inhabitants of their employment. This is entirely incorrect. Immigrants who work for cheap do lower salaries temporarily, but over time, their increased sales, purchases, and consumption result in greater hiring. Despite not being particularly despised, high-skilled immigrants nonetheless endure some scrutiny. Because they are innovators, high-skilled immigrants are superior to the previously described group. In the nations to which they immigrated, they established new businesses and added employment. We have numerous modern advancements thanks to high-skilled immigrants who work in the computer industry.

2. The second largest myth has a connection to both race and religion. The idea that immigrants commit more crimes than locals is untrue. This is also wholly false. For instance, legal or illegal immigrants in the United States commit less crimes than Americans who were born there. As individuals assert that immigrants from low-income black and brown nations commit crimes where they settle, this also turns xenophobic. That is totally false and racist.
