Uranus. It will never hit the target, because the people on said target are living in their own insular world. Immigration is one of those guttural subjects. It festers on rumour and fear and shouting."

Unfortunately you're trying to use the results of studies (logic and facts) to enter the "insular world" of those who consider immigration to be a "guttural subject" which "festers on rumor, fear and shouting". No amount of logic and facts is going to convince someone who doesn't want to be convinced.

People who would back unions on every single other issue that they took a position on will look at the union position on immigration and assume that they have gone off their rocker.
