A large police presence keeps rival protesters separated at The Beresford Hotel above Tolcarne Beach in Newquay, Cornwall, United Kingdon on March 26.

The hotel has been put to use to house refugees seeking asylum who have entered the UK.

Some anti-migrant argument is that refugees would not be in a financial position to avail themselves of the services in the local town as tourists staying at the hotel could.

Local MP Steve Double says Cornwall must do its part, but he has reservations.

Newquay, along with many other seaside towns, has a huge problem with a dearth of rental properties.

The juxtaposition of state-funded accommodation for homeless and stateless people rankles many local families experiencing a housing crisis.

Arguments for and against become heated in the street fronting the hotel.

Trade Union banners and anti-fascist flags are observed from counter-demonstrators.

The hotel uses sheets over its windows during the demonstration.
