I'm not sure about the country as a whole but in my area we have a lot of Romanians and Bulgarians and they all live and work on the farms around here, so I feel like because I don't work on a farm they don't see me as an immigrant like they see them, y'know?

    Yes i see it. You are a different kind of immigrant, probably less so because that stigma is attached to the farms and not your profession....

    Exactly. It's strange but it is what it is. I know people who love me and my company and voted for Brexit because they didn't see me an an immigrant

    I have a friend from croatia who is in the same boat here in my country as well. Go figure. I think this shows how the fear for the immigrant is just the good old fear of the different from us, suddenly when the immigrant is not a generic someone else but someone you know, it's not really an immigrant anymore.
