Most people aren't even aware of the current immigration levels and how much higher they are than historically was accepted.
Most voters in the US when asked don't want to eliminate immigration, but would like to see immigration levels reduced to a rate of 100,000 to 200,000 immigrants per year, not the current rate of 1 million+ per year.

I'm not really comfortable with this 2nd chart source, but it's the only one I could find with projections for this century's immigration levels. They do agree with the wikipedia numbers that I found.

"Alpha children wear grey. They work much harder than we do, because they're so frightfully clever. I'm awfully glad I'm a Beta, because I don't work so hard. And then we are much better than the Gammas and Deltas. Gammas are stupid. They all wear green, and Delta children wear khaki. Oh no, I don't want to play with Delta children. And Epsilons are still worse. They're too stupid to be able to read or write. Besides they wear black, which is such a beastly color. I'm so glad I'm a Beta."
--Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
