> That's bullshit, sorry. Given same demographics

Wait a minute....if you're calling bullshit, why do you lead your disproof with a limiting qualifier?

Does the specific immigration the grandparent comment references arrive with the same demographics, or not?

> As for "social distrust", you are certainly correct in the symptom, but not the cause. The cause is not "uncontrolled immigration", but politicians having totally screwed up social security systems and protection laws. For example, fair and equal minimum wage laws and especially actual enforcement of these would prevent the common notion of "the migrants are taking away our jobs because they're cheaper".

Again, I would ask, is this a theory or is it a fact? I'm under the impression that social distrust rises as diversity rises (the underlying reason, and whether it is fact-based or not is irrelevant) - is this belief false?

I actually kind of don't agree with your last two points either, but those are more opinion-based so fairly pointless to argue one way or the other.
