    I have no idea why it’s so common, but a lot of immigrants seem to hate immigrants. My parents are one of them

    I seriously don’t get it. You’re the immigrant!

        Or they resent that they did it the “right way” and think other people are doing it the “wrong way”, even if someone else is doing it fully legally.

          Years ago I spoke to a Turk in Germany who said something similar about eastern europeans migrating to Germany. His argument against them migrating was that there are too many migrants in Germany already and he felt his livelihood was threatened because of it.

          It actually makes sense from a a job security perspective (he was a cab driver).

          I am experiencing a similar feeling in a different setting. We bought an old house in a tiny village. Me and my wife we both love nature and moved out of the city into a forgotten place. In the oast few years this place became popular and now more and more people are buying land and building houses here. I get why they do it, i did it too. Its beautiful here. But i just dont want them here. Soon this place will be another rowded popular mountain spot. I hate to think about it. I want it to remain calm.

      It’s the ol’ ‘I got mine so buzz off’ attitude. Just another way humans try to be elitist.
