I have been an immigrant in a bunch of places. Most people are awesome, especially personally. Some people are xenophobic, especially politically. IE, when people are thinking politically and abstractly abstractly about migrants they tend more towards xenophobia. The place where you feel this most is at the immigration office where they make you feel unwanted and make sure you know you know you are owed nothing. Also when the politicians talk.
Anyway… Who says you shouldn't feel entitled to live peacefully and lawfully anywhere? These rules didn't come with the world. We made them. There have been different rules in different times and places. Should you feel entitled to leave any country you want? How about internal migration, like moving from New York to Minnesota? How about changing profession?
None of these were rights until and unless we made them rights.
