Here in the US, there are quite a few folks who are openly hostile towards immigrants.

In my experience there is a lot of hostility to undocumented immigrants (a.k.a illegal immigrants) but very little to people to immigrate legitimately.

US population: ~60% white non-hispanic, 20% hispanic, 14% black, 6% Asian

Japan: 98.5% ethnic Japanese

Immigrants in the US + their US born children = 27% of the population, roughly 86 million people, or equal to 3/4 the size of Japan's entire population. Such hostility.

I'm unclear how these numbers prove there isn't hostility towards immigrants in the US?
