You dismissed it as nothing to worry about, I then made a subtle point that history tells a different story.

I don’t recall doing that?

Finally, if the politicians ignore the public who have concerns about immigration - not necessarily Racist or Xenophobic. You just promote parties who play off that. All you have to do is look at mainland Europe and the rise in popularity of “Right Wing” parties.

You mean the rise based on sensationalised stories that turn out to have little bearing in truth and are often manufactured precisely for their outrage values? You ignore the fact that the “problems” regarding immigration are constantly blown out of proportion or even manufactured (see the asylum system backlog) to create precisely that kind of perception to keep or get right-wing parties in power.
