The Anti Immigrant wave in Europe is more intense than even ours, ours is for Illegal Immigrants, Italy and other EU countries its about those there legally also.
Merkel/Soros open border plan did great harm to Europe as it has here.

Concerns about a populist resurgence in the European Union have been reignited after the strong showing for anti-migration, anti-establishment parties in this week’s elections in Italy, the third-largest economy in the 28-member union.“The outcome of the elections could not be farther away from what the European Commission, as well as most other E.U. governments, were hoping for,” said (http://www.votewatch.eu/blog/what-takeaways-from-the-latest-italian-political-earthquake/) European think tank VoteWatch. It advised E.U. governments that “simply labeling their opponents as populists is not enough to deter the citizens from voting for them.”
Neither of the two anti-establishment, euroskeptic parties, the Five Star Movement and the League, won a clear majority, but they received the largest proportion of votes and at least one will likely sit in the next government. A coalition between them is not out of the question either.
Italy’s Innovation and Economic Development Centre called the result “the greatest affirmation of anti-establishment parties in the panorama of Western Europe since the post-war period.”
Italy was not an isolated case, it underlined, noting that similar economic and social concerns have fueled the success of anti-establishment parties in countries such as Germany and Austria.
On a visit to Italy, President Trump’s former chief strategist Steve Bannon told (https://www.weltwoche.ch/ausgaben/2018-9/artikel/steve-bannon-italian-election.html) the Swiss newspaper Die Weltwoche that the result was “a populist victory and should send a massive signal to the permanent political class in Rome, and more importantly to the permanent political class in Brussels that people want change.”
Migration is seen as the major issue souring public sentiment towards the E.U., in Italy and elsewhere.
“In the face of migratory flows, the E.U. has not lived up to its calling in regards to national sovereignty,” French European Parliament member Jean Arthuis wrote on his Twitter feed.
“Unable to get out of the Dublin agreement, Italy has suffered the consequences.”
The so-called Dublin Regulation (https://ec.europa.eu/home-affairs/what-we-do/policies/asylum/examination-of-applicants_en) stipulates that the country where a migrant first applies for asylum is responsible for dealing with the claim.
Italy have shouldered the brunt of the influx of migrants from the Middle East and Africa in recent years.
Populist, anti-migration and anti-E.U. sentiment appeared to have ebbed following the election victories last year of France’s Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, cementing pro-E.U. leadership in its two largest economies.
