* 55 per cent of people in 10 European nations want to curb immigration

* Research was done by the London-based Royal Institute of International Affairs

* 10,000 respondents were asked if they wanted to stop migrants arriving from predominately Muslim countries

* It was carried out before Donald Trump's controversial immigration measures

'Sobering' new figures reveal that more than half of Europeans favour banning immigration from predominately Muslim countries.

A survey carried out by London-based think-tank The Royal Institute of International Affairs found that 55 per cent of Europeans across 10 countries  think further immigration from mostly-Muslim countries should stop.

The research by the institute, based at Chatham House, was carried out before Donald Trump introduced his controversial immigration ban in the US.



Trump signed an executive order immediately banning migrants arriving from seven nations - Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen - for 90 days.

The move sparked widespread protests across the world.

Researchers quizzed more than 10,000 people from 10 European states, asking them if they agree with the statement: 'All further migration from mainly Muslim countries should be stopped.'

Opposition to future migration is largest in Poland, where 71 per cent said they oppose more migrants arriving from mostly Muslim countries.

In Austria this number was 65 per cent, in Germany it was 53 per cent and nearly half of Britons, 47 per cent, said they were in favour of a ban.

A statement from Chatham House said: 'Our results are striking and sobering.

Last sentence above was cut off but reads thusly:

"Our results are striking and sobering. They suggest that public opposition to any further migration from predominantly Muslim states is by no means confined to Trump’s electorate in the US but is fairly widespread.'"

Waiting for the “Europeans aren’t breeding so they NEED to be invaded by Muslims” posters in 3..,2..,1..

[fella]

And that’s just the people who aren’t afraid to say it. How many are scared that their government and/or the muslims will come after them if they speak out?

RE: Europeans aren’t breeding

So why not give priority to NON-MUSLIM immigrants?

[A CA Guy]

When the people can’t get their way on something like this you have to know the politicians are being paid-off!

I have a friend that tried to immigrate to Germany. No can do if you are Caucasian. Nobody takes Americans.

OK, why not Koreans ( 1/3 of who are Christians ) or Filipinos (80% Catholic)?

[central_va]

How about no immigration. The population of Europe is 742 Million. Does that sound like a population crises to you?

YAWN....your choices have consequences....

People everywhere who work for a living want the invasion to stop. The ones who welcome immigrants are the ones who are in college (at someone else’s expense), living with parents or have a cushy barista job.

I think it is safe to figure that the vast majority of the “neither agree or disagree” is basically the people too frightened to say they want rid of the muslims.

My reasoning: nobody’s going to kill or harm you if you plead ignorance or muzzie preference... Of course, there are a few people too effing stupid to really have an opinion.

As is typical for politicians already 'bought off' by special interests,
these politicians ignore the will of the people in order to perpetuate their desire for continued power.

I'd like to see the chart categorizing the number of mooselimb countries taking in mooselimb refugees.

And the number of mooselimb refugees Barky the ex-presidential seal released from Gitmo don't count.

[I want the USA back]

All sensible persons want it stopped.

Captain Obvious strikes again.

The ones who welcome immigrants are the ones who are in college (at someone else’s expense), living with parents or have a cushy barista job.

AND very much the ones that profit from the multi-multi-billion dollar "migration industry". Sham charities (including most church-affiliated organizations), "social workers" of all stripes, etc. etc. (not! any of the actually productive in a positive sense tech industries, of course...) That's millions of people.

Importing people en masse and people who abandon their native country gets nothing accomplished in neither scenario unless the outcome is to destroy both countries eventually. As it stands, the Muslim birthrate and colonization is bringing the numbers to alarming levels. Once 20% is reached, it is a slow Sharia death. London and Paris will be 50% within 10 years. What Bush, Obama, Clinton, Kerry and McCain with others did to the Mideast brought about this “refugee” invasion.
