You might want to check some of your facts here concerning Western Europe. There has been mass immigration here since the 1950s so its hardly a new concept. Also the backlash against immigrants in the UK was considerably worse in the period of the 1950s, 1960s and especially the 1970s and early 1980s than it was after the crash of 2008. The only difference now is that immigrants come from different places, hence different issues.
