Because it causes populations in certain areas of the country to expand at a rate more rapid than public services can cope with, and it causes communities to feel insecure when they believe their established. traditional way of life is under threat from 'imported' culture.

Let's get something clear, however. The Tories are not saying 'immigration is a problem'. They are saying uncontrolled immigration is a problem. It is only Labour smear tactics that is causing some to believe the Conservative policy is anti-immigrant. If we can get control of immigration into this country, by ensuring we limit the numbers to that which we are able to absorb without stressing our public services or risking civil strife ... well, if I could reverse the question, why do (some) people believe that is a problem then?
