I fail to see the hypocrisy.

The xenophobic attitude exists everywhere, but the solution is never to blame outside people who are following the incentives.

The solution is to have a government that is properly structuring the incentives of society to get the best outcomes for everyone.

If I were (hypothetically) the authoritarian dictator of of Portugal I probably wouldn’t turn away willing immigrants with money to spend, I would just build more housing and ensure that immigrants were assimilating, living there, and paying taxes.
