It was a level playing field, or as level as they can get, anyway.
Those things simply aren't equivalent. And the only thing that actually 'stoked the anti-immigrant fire' was the level of immigration that took place between 1997 and 2011 and the nature of many of those immigrants. Le Pen, BNP, etc are symptoms, not the disease.
