In contemporary society, the term 'immigrant' has taken on negative connotations, becoming a symbol of division and conflict, particularly as right-wing movements exploit xenophobia and structural racism. Historically, immigrants have often been targeted during times of societal struggle, echoing biblical times when Jesus advocated for mistreated foreigners. The ongoing displacement of populations has intensified these dynamics, where immigrants are unjustly blamed for various societal issues.

The rise of radical right ideologies has transformed immigrants into convenient villains, drawing on deep-seated resentments among populations experiencing economic and social unrest. This narrative allows these movements to rally support by directing public anger towards a common enemy, effectively using fear and hatred as political tools. The article highlights that this situation creates a detrimental cycle where xenophobia is reinforced, perpetuating discrimination and social division.

Moreover, the consequences of branding immigrants as a 'curse' are profound, impacting their rights and lives while further entrenching societal divides. The article advocates for a shift in perspective, pointing out that, rather than being a burden, immigrants can often serve as a vital force for societal growth and innovation. Through awareness and education, communities could begin to reverse harmful stereotypes and embrace the positive contributions immigrants can offer to society.
