In Australia, few of the reasons I've observed (working in Australia for past few years) -
- Tremendous pressure on housing (increased immigration perceived to be the primary driver), resulting in an undercurrent of resentment against more people coming in.
- More and more stories of student distress (probably proportionate to increased intake), and desperate appeals from immigrants for help have become a frequent phenomenon (as per old-timers it wasn't like that in Australia 10-15 years ago)
- Increased numbers of immigration frauds by indians coming to light, create unease in older immigrants. As per them, not only this affects indian community's influence(seen mostly as law-abiding, no-trouble folks), but also creates unease in equations with locals.
- Heavily increased numbers have encouraged some folks to bring the home practices to Australian shores, drawing rebukes and pushback from locals (perceived as image-tarnishing by old-timers). Google "Harris park burnouts" or "Harris park stalls dispute" for some examples.
- And of course, sometimes just the plain old shut-the-door-after-me thought process!!
