It's a bit more varied and complicated than that, but when you look at the bottom line, yes. Foreign workers are often marginalised in order to be more easily exploited, or as a scapegoat for shitty worker rights for native people, as a way to divide a burgeoning labour movement etc.
When I did my work permit interview, the forms I needed to fill out had questions like "have you been part of a terrorist organisation or do you know people who have been" and so on. Mind you, at the time Bulgaria had been a EU member state for, like, 7 years. This gave me a better sense of the kind of indignities forced on our Middle Eastern and brown comrades by the imperialist dogs. Never been happier than when I got back home for good. Fuck TERF island.
