some of this is the hostility immigrants feel from republicans and republican voters. as such, the gop and it's constituents contribute to (or perhaps even principally cause) this.
the premise that all/most immigrants "are liberals" (by apparent virtue of their immigrant-ness) is almost hilariously a stereotypical position to hold. i wonder what a gop explanation for why that is true would look like.

A little. But it's not one of the big three drivers -
The first is social welfare.
The second comes down to ideology - American conservatives have a unique brand of beliefs.
For example the value placed on:
- Freedom of speech
- Firearms
- Individual liberty over collective safety/feelings/effective policy
These traits are not shared by conservatives in the rest of the world. In the U.K. for example the majority of conservatives are happy with strict firearm control.
The third is personality - American conservatives are loud, proud, straight talking, and rough-edged - this rubs conservatives from other countries the wrong way.
