In Italy, 69 percent of those polled say “immigrants are a burden because they take jobs and social benefits.” In Greece, 70 percent think that.
And in both countries, a majority of the left agree. That’s right: in the birthplace of humanity (and colonialism), even those who consider themselves more liberal believe immigrants are a burden.
The same goes for Poland too, where leftists are more likely than their right-leaning brethren to hold immigration concerns by an 8 percent margin.
