Immigration is the cause of the rise of the right in Europe and America.

The problem is caused primarily by global warming, wars and cultural conflict and in turn is creating cultural conflict which is causing the rise of the right like the Fidesz party in Hungary, which enabled Orban to take control, Giorgia Meloni's, Brothers of Italy party, Marine le Pen's, National Rally Party, the British National Party.

Here is what Omer Azis, a former foreign policy adviser of Justin Trudeau has to say

Some of its growth is a symptom of larger problems, which include extreme inequality, racial polarization and weaponizing the state to come down on minorities. Since the 1970s, we’ve seen a disintegration of the social order in the United States. There was the mass incarceration of African Americans, harsh drug and anti-immigrant policies, and trade deals and economic arrangements made by liberal elites that left many people behind. So you have a mass of people who are disaffected, disillusioned, unemployed, and neither left party or right party can reach them. And that’s how someone like Trump can come in and take over.

That is true of the rise of fascism in America and Canada, Europe is another matter, there it is the influx of an unassailable alien culture which actually threatens to display western culture.

This is what brought Viktor Orban to Power, he promised to build a wall to keep them out, and he did, he promises to deport them and he is doing just that. Shades of Stephen Miller, Hohan and Trump.

In America race plays a bigger role than it does in Europe. Europe doesn't have the slave, race, civil war history that is the millstone of America. Although they do have their history of problems with ethnicity like the insanity of the Balkans. Bosniaks, Croats, Serbs, Kosovarians all Slavs, The differ only in religion Bosnia - Muslim, Croatia- Roman Catholic, Serbia - Greek Orthodox, Kosovo Muslim.

During the Roman empire the region was called Illyria, and it even provided an Emperor named Constantine.
