Not necessarily. Polls such as those done on C4's recent documentary Immigration: The Inconvenient Truth suggest that most immigrants themselves would like to see levels of migration reduced. And rightly so! After all, immigration (for me, at least) has never been a race issue, but one of numbers and common sense. High levels of immigration will undoubtedly affect settled migrants.
