03/18/2009: "Most Europeans want jobless immigrants to leave"

Most people in major European countries and the United States believe unemployed immigrants should be asked to leave, a poll showed Monday, indicating growing fears over competition for scarce jobs.

The FT/Harris polls published by the Financial Times showed more than three-quarters of Italians and Britons and a majority in France, Germany, Spain and the United States would support their governments asking immigrants to leave.

The results of the poll suggest rising unemployment could push the issue of immigration up the political agenda in Europe and may boost support for far-right parties.

[ That's correct. It will boost support for ethno-nationalism! If our government was less fascist and more democratic they would heed the wishes of the majority on a vital issue like this. ]

the last post said forty, and the 60 percent remaining would definitely be a composite of those willing to speak out, willing to take action and the timid.

the majority should be on the offensive.
