This is an old and tired straw man argument. Yes, there are simple minded people out there who oppose immigration on principle and racism. But a lot of people are in fact opposed to indiscriminate immigration. A significant proportion of refugees are criminals, plain and simple. They often have the means to move that simple, poor, hard working people don't.

Taking large waves of refugees with no filtering will gurantee that the honest working ones will suffer by association with the bad ones.

Edit: Huge numbers of desperate refugees will also accept pay and working conditions that put local workers out of options.

Immigration is not a good thing just like it's not a bad thing. The devil is always is the details.
