It’s not a yes or no question. The terms “pro immigration” and “anti immigration” are basically useless.
Every country has some immigration. No country has completely open borders. The more meaningful debate is about immigration policy and what principles a country should use to determine this policy (e.g. economic, humanitarian, … or even religious if we want to go with the OP comic)
