I don't think this part has as wide support as the part where people see entire towns lose their jobs, while from their point of view foreigners are being let in left and right. Those foreigners didn't literally take their jobs, but someone's gaining jobs and someone's losing jobs.
It may be good for the economy, but you know that saying "taxation without representation"? Yeah, the government is supposed to represent the voters. And from these local's point of view they are not being represented. It's taxation without representation. And some people get upset about that.
These people didn't get elected to represent the economy as a whole or even humanity as a whole, but to represent the voting population and their interests.
Don't say "I can't understand".
More jobs = more jobs for everyone. If I immigrate to your country nobody looses a job; I get given a job that a native was unwilling or unable to take. My economic contribution to the society will also increase the total number of available jobs, meaning more jobs for everyone.
Well, except for the spelling of "lose".
This is one of those.

At times of stress we seek out the enemy. And external imaginary enemy is always easier to accept than internal or god forbid a bad habit that we are all guilty of.
