https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

Tolerance is generally a useful tool for social discourse, but when your "peers" are actively working to recruit and organize a movement to silence/deport/kill your friends it's generally not useful to tolerate that behavior.

Tolerance only works when you have at least the smallest and most fundamental amount of social cohesion.

Is there any mainstream movement for reporting legal immigrants?

As for illegals, every major country in the world deports illegal immigrants, even good old Canada, to the chagrin of many who thought they'd walk over and be granted immigration status without any further effort.

(I'm assuming "reporting" was a typo for "deporting")

Brexit?

Helpfully Brexit is a multi-faceted movement, so you can't pin down people as supporting or opposing any particular policy. But it seems a large part of it was driven by opposition to "eastern europeans" - who are in the UK legally under freedom of movement.

If Brexit happens without a new rule being introduced, suddenly millions of people who legally immigrated to the UK will become "illegal". (They can try the naturalisation process, which is long, expensive, not at all guaranteed to succeed, and closed to many categories of people)

And white supremacists say their enemies are against social cohesion and organizing to silence people (in the latter case there's a bit of truth, in terms of the anti-civil-liberties streak of my fellow progressives and leftists).

In the end it's still taking political sides.
