    The countries where most people consider immigration a problem are Bulgaria (74% of respondents), the Czech Republic (73%), Hungary and Cyprus (68% in both cases). Paradoxically, in Italy, the European country where the largest number of immigrants entered irregularly last year (157,652), only 44% of respondents viewed it as a problem and only 14% saw it as the main problem. In Greece and Spain, the second and third countries with the most irregular arrivals in 2023, respectively, only 11% of respondents considered it the issue of most concern to them, below the European average of 17%. However, Greece is the country where the most people (90%) believe their country takes in too many migrants.

    So basically local poverty is a far better predictor of people thinking there’s too many immigrants than actual immigrant numbers. No wonder the Tories in the UK revel in the boat people rhetoric. Lol. Lmao even. Our species is fucked.

      That’s what I keep saying: You want to curtail unregulated migration? Fight climate change! It is THE most effective measure possible. It creates jobs, it secures wealth, it decrease push-factors.
