National fantasies and reality
Along with the multitudes of illegal and legal migrants, there have also been discussions about nationality and indigenousness, the sovereignty of individual countries, the protection of national interests and nation states, and discussions about the use of state funds.
Border protection itself is a major national expense for individual countries, from protective fences to the deployment of border police and, in some cases, even the army, as was the recent case in Spain. Damage to property is usually a personal problem, as was also reported from areas along the Slovenian border, which is no longer a Schengen border of the European Union. The free use of the beach, even for overnight stays, is the dream of many EU citizens, especially given the high prices of accommodation and even the ban on "occupying" space on the beach with a towel. Towels and backpacks have even been removed from beaches in many European countries. You can also pay fines for leaving litter and breaking other people's windows and doors, or vandalism. Also criminal offenses are theft of other people's things, shoplifting, car theft, free rides in other people's vehicles, and the like.
It would be hard to find opponents of free holidays, since many people in the EU cannot afford them. This is just one aspect, or opinion, of the multitude of "tourist migrants", if they were just peaceful illegal border violators, which is also criminal in all EU countries.
Another thing is, in addition to the cultural component of interpersonal relations, the use of a foreign language and the enjoyment of national dishes. Tendencies to settle a foreign country and even tendencies to recognize minority rights, as recently appeared in Slovenia, when they supposedly recognized the Serbian minority despite the fact that Serbia does not have a border with Slovenia, but Serbs in Slovenia are the result of mass immigration, are also the guarantor of debates about national security and the protection of national interests and customs, and the required integration of newcomers. In short, we could call this a debate about who will adapt to whom and where. And of course why doesn't the EU have religious states, since it is often heard that the EU should enthrone Christian states alongside Muslim states. And Christian law alongside Sharia religious law.
In short, we can come to terms with the aspirations of migrants, current and former, to assert their migrant nationality as a minority in individual countries and of course also to assert their cultural and/or religious particularities in the countries they have managed to settle.
Of course, such actions by migrants have led to an anti-migrant response or even protective-national calls by governments to return migrants to their countries. The more migrants in individual countries strive to establish their cultural specificities in these countries through religiously mandated or prohibited dogmas, the stronger the national-cultural and possibly also religious defense of the current settlers of individual countries becomes, which in extreme cases can also lead to national and/or civil conflicts and wars, just as the aspirations for territories and dominance over others were and are still being resolved today, even at the interstate level.
