I think there's always at least a background low level of xenophobia, and it's the choice of politicians to amplify it until it becomes a significant force in society. By the way, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia, etc are reduced by mere exposure to other races, gay people, trans people, etc in a normal setting.
