In a survey done by Ipsos Mora y Araujo, citizens of 24 countries were asked how they viewed immigrants. The United States did not lead the way with immigrant haters, still more than half of U.S. citizens hate immigrants.
The Ipsos survey asked various questions regarding immigrants, but basically most European and American residents don’t like immigrants, which is ironic considering that most European and American countries are made up of immigrants.
The country that leads the way in hatred of immigrants is Belgium, with 72% of respondents saying immigrants are bad for their country. Argentina, United Kingdom and United States are on the same wavelength, with about 61% of their citizens hating immigrants.
50% of Australians and 41% of Canadians say immigrants make it harder to find a job. One Canadian respondent explained their view of immigration as ‘yes, you can move here, but just not where I live’.
So where to move, now that it’s becoming clear that the United States isn’t a place where you can achieve your dreams?
47% of Brazilians say immigrants are good for their economy, and 49% say immigrants make Brazil an interesting place to live. Could explain Brazil’s exploding population numbers. Brazil now has the 5th largest population in the world. Officially 192 million people live in Brazil, that’s almost equal to all the other South American country’s populations combined!
