Yea, but who builds infrastructure? Where I live, 50% of the workforce in construction is immigrants.

PS: I'm not saying what you say isn't true, it's just weird to see countries that were built by wave after wave of immigrants now say it's not working anymore. What changed from then to now?

PS2: https://www.vox.com/politics/351535/3-theories-for-americas-anti-immigrant-shift probably it's inequality making the majority of people feel like if they don't have enough for themselves, how can new people move in?

also: I was wrong, there's always been some pushback against the wrong kind of immigrants e.g.:

Fell down a rabbit hole, sorry for the linkdump, this stuff really puts into perspective the stuff happening in american politics today.
