In 1975, a French writer named Jean Raspail wrote a story about how western civilization could be destroyed by too many people coming from other countries. The book, called The Camp of the Saints, talks about this idea. After not being available for a while, the book became popular again in 2011. Now, people can read it on Kindle or for free online. Some say it is a very smart book to read.
Some people believe that if countries let in a lot of immigrants from places with less education, it could make things worse in the western world. They think it might bring more crime, make prices go up, and even hurt the way of life for some people. For example, in the UK, there are movements against certain groups and protests happening. People feel like their country is changing in ways they do not like. The same is happening in Ireland and Sweden.

In Sweden, the government wants to make it harder for people to come to their country. They think too many immigrants have come, and it is causing problems. A new plan made by some political parties says they will change the rules about who can stay in the country. They want to have fewer immigrants in Sweden in the future.
In the Netherlands, a new government has been formed with some right-wing ideas. They want to really watch who comes into their country and make sure they follow the rules. They also want to limit how many non-citizens can come to study there. They hope these changes will help their country be better.
Some people in Europe are working on a new plan for how to handle people wanting to move to different countries. But not every country agrees with the ideas in this plan. Some countries are worried it might force them to take in more immigrants than they want. This could cause more arguments between the countries in Europe.
In the United States, there is talk about letting in refugees from a place called Gaza. Some people are concerned that these refugees may not fit in well with American life because of their past experiences. They worry that bringing in these refugees might not be a good idea. Perhaps there should be a new book like The Camp of the Saints, but this time about the challenges of dealing with unwise immigration choices.
