| Stunning poll reveals widespread backlash against refugee immigration in developed countries |
| 2017-09-18 |
[American Thinker] Citizens seem to understand more than their leaders in most Western democracies. Here's a stunning poll that shows the depth of popular opposition to anything-goes migration - with the sentiment the same across the developed world. According to this global study from Ipsos-MORI, cited by Breitbart London, a majority of the population in 25 countries finds immigration a major concern, and most citizens are doubtful about migrant claims to being refugees. In every single nation surveyed a plurality thought that immigration had had a negative effect. An average of 48 per cent said there are too many immigrants in their countries, against 21 per cent who believe there are not.. Breitbart noted that the sharpest shift came from Sweden. Apparently, people aren't as thrilled as their leaders are about a Uniworld Utopia, knowing what migrants are like and what their costs cost them. Note also that Turkey, a nation with a strong national identity, casts an especially baleful eye on unchecked, unvetted and undocumented migrants overrunning their country. |

| #5 Does seem akin to a cargo cult expecting cultures that create shitholes to be able to create civilisation when transplanted there. ESPECIALLY after the failed experiment with Iraqi democracy. |

| #4 There is a reason third world nations are third world, and to imagine that the refugees from the third world will suddenly become first world citizens without massive programs to enforce assimilation seems delusional at best. Of course the pols don't care about that if they can get the refugees to vote for them and perhaps launder some of their western guilt in the process, well that'll be enough. |

| #3 I'll believe it when there are electoral results followed by policy and practice changes. Or when the native population starts exercising "The Muslim Option" on a mass scale on the Muslims. |

| #1 "Do what you're told, think what you're told, and eat your gruel. It's nutritious." I'm beginning to think that the europeans were better off having a war every 30 years or so. |
