I've also seen polls showing that the Brits overwhelmingly want less immigration. The Germans also tend to be restrictionist in attitude too, as do their elites. Germany is so restrictionist that more immigrants are now leaving than arriving from Turkey (the main non-Western migrant source), but immigrants continue to arrive from other Western countries. <br /><br />The Nordics and (until recently, maybe not now) Spaniards seem quite liberal, but the rest of Europe is to the right of the U.S. on immigration. It's pretty much just Sweden, Canada, Australia, and NZ that continue to be more open. <br /><br />The true conservatives are the East Asians. Despite labor shortages, Korea, Japan, and Taiwan haven't opened the door. Not even slightly. Net migration continues to be zero. Even in HK and Singapore, net migration is mainly highly skilled, mostly temporary, and overwhelmingly Chinese.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26188478.post-33401735138170577702011-03-12T15:42:00.099-08:002011-03-12T15:42:00.099-08:00Sushiboofay if your only problem with illegal immi...Sushiboofay if your only problem with illegal immigration is that it's unfair to legal immigrants, why not just make all immigration legal?

How is it fair that immigrants that want to live here legally have to jump through endless hoops to do so, but the government overlooks illegals who settle right in and take away American jobs?Sushiboofayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02809525274599810265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26188478.post-24459255249580400702011-03-10T16:53:03.464-08:002011-03-10T16:53:03.464-08:00Informative Blog.Informative Blog.Majid Alihttp://100waystomotivate.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26188478.post-20440973727617266782011-03-10T11:27:08.656-08:002011-03-10T11:27:08.656-08:00I disagree with these statistics.

In a massive EU poll about a year or two ago, only 19% Europeans thought immigration had benefited Europe. I've seen polls in the UK where about 70% favor an immigration moratorium.JT Whartonnoreply@blogger.com
