I disagree. I think it's both. Some see immigrants as threatening and others as competition. The result is the same though the feelings are not. Xenophobia operates on many levels.
The social prejudice against immigrants is not new; those feelings have always been there. What's new is economic stresses from immigration translating antiimmigrant feelings into actual policy action. That points to a fourth turning. Only Mikebert's desire to preserve his political misconceptions prevents him from seeing that.
