Right wing isn't really that popular in most developed/rich EU countries though. Most of them have quite left leaning population and leaders.
And many of the richer countries want immigration but not publicly admitting it, but do it under the table, due to pressure from business groups and lobbyists, who hope this will aid with the labor shortage (translation for jobs with shitty pay and downward pressure on wages) while also pushing up demand for housing/rents, and demand for consumer goods in the retail sector. All of which benefit the business and ruling elite.
Immigration to UK is at its highest year ever despite Brexit and Covid having thrown wrenches in immigration movements.
Same for continental Europe. Refugees and migrants are coming weekly by the thousands by sea and land, and there's nothing the right wing parties can do about it, as long as migrants can cross the border then claim refugee status and know how to play the refugee game, the host country can't deny them that as it's guaranteed by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), and if they do deny them that right, then the country can be sued and will lose.
So, for that to work, the right wing leaders would have to first get their country out of the ECHR, and then they can deny refugees/migrants.
