    Same thing is happening with the refugees.

    Yes they are being used as a straw man to scare and polarize people.

    The illegals who have zero chance to get a refugee status and who are committing crimes have soured people’s attitudes towards the real refugees.

    And it is working.

      Are you familiar with the situation in the Netherlands? Because points OP raises are not really polarizing in the Netherlands. Maybe you’re for example misunderstanding the phrase ‘The illegals who have zero chance to get a refugee status’ because some parts got lost in translation ?
