We are a nation of nimby-ites..."it's all very well, but not in my backyard" is a moderate position these days. After rulling 1/2 the world & asserting for two hundred years, that we welcome dissidents from all over, we are now finding our little island is changing very quickly. Personally, I think it's a good thing. Look back to how the Establishment has used & abused children & covered it up, for decades - more than a century in fact. Look at how the churches have shuffled abusers around the country, instead of dealing with them. There are so many examples of how things are changing for the better, not just through immigration, but the increased flow of information that comes with the digital age... Pick and choose who the economic migrants are, and we can still take in the enemies of other states. They have been very useful over the centuries...
