It is a real issue, because it's human nature. Groups don't like outsiders.

Pretending that isn't human nature is why anti-immigrant parties keep attracting surprising support in elections.

And that tension shouldn't be swept under the rug and ignored via the 'it's just the far right' excuse.

It's a thing. It needs to be addressed. Which doesn't necessarily mean implementing anti-immigrant policies, but does at least mean some form of address (e.g. government support for enculturation, advertising benefits of immigration, etc).
