A new wave of anti-immigration sentiment seems to be rising worldwide. The reasons are more or less familiar: economic and cultural anxiety, political leaders feeding off it, and the growing belief that immigration systems are broken. Each place has its own trigger, but together, they tell a story of societies turning inward, convinced that newcomers are a threat instead of a strength. The UK is no exception. Reform UK, a Right-wing party built on populist anger, is fast gaining ground. And social media makes the divide even sharper.
