Isn't the immigration/tourism arguments in any country normally a right wing viewpoint?

I don't think the traditional left/right dichotomy is as relevant now as it used to be

The issues that they are concerned about - wage suppression, lack of opportunities, housing shortages, antisocial behaviour, environmental impacts etc. - cut across the political spectrum
