The anti-immigration sentiment often seen in the US (sometimes even on HN), and in a lot of European countries seems to say otherwise.

immigration is a scapegoat. it's not the problem. reducing immigration would not improve anything.

How exactly is it "hateful" to have opinions on immigration policy?

the message is: we don't want immigrants, we don't want to help other countries at our short term cost (even if it is a long term gain for us). like it or not, this is what people want.
