The sensitivity is a result of perceived steady encroaching religious and ethnic geographic concentrations, anecdotal experiences and critically the universal emotional FUD (fear uncertainty and doubt) of foreigners. Unfamiliar disparate cultural, and religious take two sides to integrate - it takes work, tolerance on both sides.
Its does not help when our leaders appeal to these emotional dimensions
What is the case for migration to UK applies to any country - we can't get too prissy about immigration when we migrate to "Eldorado" communities in Spain, even closer to home Wales, Scotland, NI.
Anybody who is different is treat with suspicion it becomes an issue when volumes increase - i.e. fear of being overwhelmed and switching from an established majority to the subject minority.
Inflammatory rhetoric only stokes discord.
One must be open minded realistic and pragmatic.
Migration is a dynamic process, current narrative only deals with inflow's with no discussion of outflow's or resultant demographic
Think about Hokey's in USA dust bowl era.

Christos Tsiolkas Dead Europe Quote Greece "the fear of the immigrant" Consider that fear springs from Insecurity powerlessness lack of understanding, its the same for any new comer to any organisation - differentness is immediately suspicious until the newcomer establishes that he is no "threat" - Imposed immigration is dangerous with out explanation. UK problem is that we have not employed all our available population - its a leadership (business and political) failure. If you could compress time then employ all UK residents , then top up with immigrants - i.e. justify immigration level. Its just not explained to populations so that they buy in -
It just should not be a problem and there should not be a debate BUT there has to be one because it's perceived as an issue.
It is a very difficult conversation But is must be had - e.g. differential birth rates between all extractions - l'm not suggesting competitive breeding or controls - maybe a specimen problem solving approach - that's what happened in Nazi Germany - that is really scary - its laid bare.
We are all Aliens - and must be encouraged to work at getting on with each other
