twentieth century: Of course, there is nothing particularly new about politicians exploiting xenophobia, as the twentieth century provided us several instances of such behavior and, at times, with dramatic consequences, according to Huffington Post Canada. Over the past few decades, analysts have insisted that European style anti-immigrant politics were not easily exportable to either the United States or Canada as such ideas were unattractive to most North American voters. In this regard, the example that immediately comes to mind is France Front Nationale of Jean-Marie Le Pen . But there are several anti-immigrant political parties in Europe. Anti-immigrant politicians usually appeal to a nation ethnic majority population by insist that the dominant culture is being undermined by migrants. The absence of an anti-immigrant political party in the two countries is frequently served up as evidence of the importance of immigration to the process of nation-building. It not simple to make this case in culturally pluralist democracies like the United States and Canada that lack an easily definable ethnic majority.
