My country has a greater percentage of migrants than yours but I have mixed feelings on the matter, and thus I'm neither conservative or liberal. I believe in helping people but not to the extent of destroying oneself. I'm not a nationalist but I have appreciation for culture and, more importantly, the understanding that sometimes comes with it, the norms/rules of society. The other angle is that skilled migrants are a boon, and I've met many great migrants. The real problem is not having a working government and thus the issue becomes politics instead of human rights or national gain/disaster. They just scream and scream whilst not fixing the system they're suppose to manage. Xenophobia can be hectic here in South Africa, and people do get killed, but the flipside is that the biggest liberal party and their second biggest opposition both seem to be working towards open borders, which may mean they have funders in common. Therein, is my biggest concern i.e. international private powers with oodles of money deciding what our policies should be on the ground whilst they live in the sky.
