There's a huge difference between you and a few other expatriates living in a foreign country and immigration. There are quite a few British people living in France for example but this doesn't constitute immigration, there aren't millions of them there, they haven't changed the character of entire towns in the way that immigration has changed the character of some British towns.
If there were millions of them, if their presence completely changed the character of entire towns, if they blatantly rejected French customs and the French faith, which is predominantly Catholic, the French would resent them, they would expect them to be more French.
