People fall into a trap of blaming immigrants for "taking all the jobs", instead of focusing their attention to the greedy "rich get richer" fuckers at the top, who either move their business abroad for cheap slave labour or don't pay workers here in Europe enough. Blaming immigrants as a scapegoat is just easy.

There's a difference between immigrant and refugees. Refugees, as long as they're not naturalised, aren't allowed to work. So, they aren't the ones taking jobs away. Also, the jobs immigrants usually do, wouldn't be done by citizens anyway. Menial tasks with a pittance for pay.

The real job killers are abroad. Low wage countries with next to no workplace regulations and workers rights. The promised lands for international corporations. Others call it the global market.

"Immigrants taking jobs away" if you put it without qualifiers is a bit of a silly notion anyways - if immigrants come in, the economy grows, there are more workers, but also more consumers. Actually, you get additional workforce and consumers for whose basic education the state didn't even have to pay. If you attack immigrants for taking your job away, you might as well attack newborn babies - with them it is even worse because they are much younger than you and will soon be preferred to you on the job market.

The problem is rather exploitation of immigrants by companies who let them work hard jobs with too little pay - since they are often desperate and willing to do that, that potentially ruins wages.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
