Recent demonstrations against migrants worldwide have exposed a deep uneasiness. Whether it is London or Australia, the resentment of the general public shows that the migration is no longer a social and economic question, but has become the center of political polarization and cultural confrontation. Demonstrations against migrants in Australia and London have again raised the question whether the era of globalization is now retreating from “open borders”? If seen, the number of migrants is increasing continuously all over the world, but parallel to this, their opposition is also coming up equally intensely. This protest is not only a sign of social dissatisfaction but an expression of deep economic, cultural and political crisis.
If seen, the biggest reason at the root of demonstrations is the competition of employment and resources. Local citizens feel that migrants are snatching their employment, reducing wages and burning social services. After Kovid epidemic and economic slowdown, it has become insecurity and deep. Australia has resentment about the growing migrant workers in the construction and service sector.

On the other hand, recent demonstrations in the multicultural city like London have revealed that a class feels that the increase in the number of migrants is endangered by their traditional identity and lifestyle. Language, food and religious diversity sometimes causes conflict instead of building a bridge of dialogue and harmony. This cultural discomfort does not back down from inciting extremist forces.
The most important aspect is of politics. In many countries, right -wing and nationalist parties make the migrant issue an electoral weapon. Presenting “external” as a danger has become an easy tool to incite public sentiments. In Australia and Britain too, the active role of political organizations and groups has been revealed behind recent demonstrations.
It is clear from these demonstrations that the society is falling prey to deep polarization on the question of migrants. On the one hand, they are contributing to the economy of migrant nations through labor and diversity, on the other hand they are being linked to crime, unemployment and insecurity. This approach not only challenges democratic values but also breaks social harmony.
If you look at the path ahead, the world will have to believe that migrants are not only problems, are also solutions. Strong social policy, dialogue between local citizens and migrants, and new employment opportunities can reduce this stress. If politics is only engaged in provoking the fire of hatred, then in the coming times, this wave of demonstrations can take the form of a big social conflict.
If seen, the protests in Australia and London are not just expressing anger against migrants, but it is a mirror of the dilemma of this century in which the challenge of the need for globalization and the balance between local insecurity has become the greatest.
In addition, Alan Musk addressed the movement against migrants in London which was surprising in itself. When the world’s most influential industrialist and tech veteran comment on migrant policy in provocative language like “fight or die”, its impact is not limited to only one country. Elon Musk accused the UK government of “importing voters” and migrants were being promoted in a planned manner. Such comments directly air the insecurity and mistrust that is already present among the local public. The fear of crisis on employment, safety and cultural identity due to migrants made him more spicy.
At the same time, the British government has called it “dangerous and inflammatory”. The truth is also that rhetoric like “Fight Back or Die” gives rise to excitement of crowds more than democratic discourse. When this language comes from one of the most powerful persons in the technical world, it affects both political and social stress. If seen, today the biggest challenge is how to balance between independent expression and responsibility. The solution to the migrant crisis will not come out of politics of hatred and fear. For this, communication, sensitive policy and the bridge of faith among migrants with local citizens is a permanent solution.
Alan Musk’s London speech suggests that the migrant question is no longer a social problem, but it has become the polarization point of global politics. If responsible celebrities also resort to the language of provocation and fear, then this fire will not only rage in Europe and Australia, but will destabilize the whole world. This is the time when instead of considering the migrant question as “danger”, the maturity of seeing as “opportunity” is shown.
However, events are showing that the people who feel pressure on employment, resources and social services have started to consider migrants as the cause of their crisis. If this crisis is not handled through dialogue and sensitive policies, then this stress can take the form of big social conflict. This restlessness can be converted into peace only through balanced policies and tolerant society. Otherwise, the echo of recent demonstrations is a call for even more explosive conditions in the coming years.
