An AI Lie Detector Is Going to Start Questioning Travelers in the EU

Not sure about this, here in London I don't think people support Saudi sheikhs, despite being generally pro-immigration (possibly in contrast to the rest of the UK). Although you're right that almost no politician would oppose immigration of wealth(y).

Edit: Although I do agree that there might be an effect similar to this, I think it was also present in Slovenia versus other Yugoslavian people. I wonder how much it has to do with the perception of wealth directly, and feeling threatened by "inferior" culture - there's probably a correlation, in addition a poor society is percieved as more likely to immigrate in larger numbers.

From polls I've seen, I think most of the UK is pro-immigration. The disagreement is over uncontrolled immigration, which is a bit different.

Edit - I'm also in London, and have definitely heard people complaining about rich Saudis buying everything up. (And rich Russians before that.) I suspect there's a useful comparison to be made with US anxieties wrt Japanese investment back in the 90s.
