In recent decades, the world has experienced many shocks: terrorist attacks, financial crises, the European refugee issue, the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as climate change, rising prices, and growing wealth gaps.
Many people feel life has become harder and trust less that governments can solve complex problems.
As a result, a simple explanation has become popular: it's all the immigrants' fault.
Some say expensive housing, crowded hospitals, and difficulty finding jobs are all because of immigrants.
But many studies have found that immigrants often help economic development and do not necessarily lower wages.
The 'real reasons are very complex,' but blaming immigrants sounds simpler.
Social media also spreads these feelings faster; online circles turn rumors into perceived truths, eventually leading to street protests.
Australia also has anti-immigrant voices, but because many people are immigrants or descendants of immigrants and voting is mandatory, extreme views rarely win.
More importantly, Australia has a long-term immigration management system.
To overcome the crisis, society needs to seriously address housing, public services, and unity issues rather than blaming immigrants.
