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

    I mean, people want to keep their customs and traditions, so immigrants will bring their own customs and traditions, and if you have lots of immigrants, their customs and traditions will become the main ones in that place.

      You’d need to bring in more immigrants than the current population, which I don’t think any country is anywhere close to.

        True that, but you see the effects locally. Also, you need an arguably small portion of the population being immigrants for them to become relevant in the society, no need to replace everyone. Relevant minorities get legislation protecting them and their traditions/beliefs.

            I mean, sure. I’m not debating whether it’s right or wrong, I’m just saying that naturally, once a minority becomes relevant, they start demanding recognition, especially if their culture differs quite a bit from the “host” country, which is not wrong in and of itself. I feel like it’s more evident when the immigrant population differs quite a bit from the host country. This is just my opinion though, based on my local and anectodal experiences, so feel free to disagree with me, I’m open to dialogue.

            But I feel like I’m sidetracking from the main question here.

            My sentences are weird because I’m not english.
