Poll shows US voters more worried about immigration than racism

US voters would most like to hear immigration discussed in the congressional campaigns, not debates about race and equality, a poll by Pew has shown.

Published: June 24, 2018, 11:37 am

    About one-in-five (19 percent) mentioned immigration. Also, 18 percent of US voters said economic issues should be discussed in the congressional campaigns.

    Substantial shares of registered voters also wanted to hear about health care (13 percent), education (9 percent), guns and gun issues (8 percent), specific politicians or the government system (8 percent) and the economy (7 percent).

    Overall, Republican and Republican-leaning voters were more concerned abou the border wall than Democrats. Some 4 percentof Republican voters mentioned the border wall, but fewer than 1 percent of Democratic voters mentioned it.

    Democrats and Democratic-leaning voters were at least twice as likely as Republicans to mention health care (16 percent vs. 8 percent), education (11 percent vs 4 percent) and racial issues (5 percent vs. less than 1 percent).

    Democrats have been hyping the immigration debate claiming immigrant detainment centers in the US were “concentration camps” and “ICE agents are Nazis“.

    Bing’s homepage for the UN’s “World Refugee Day” meanwhile has featured a realistic video mapping out the flood of fake “refugees” – economic migrants – pouring into America and Europe.

    “The map we’re showing represents the movements of these refugees around the globe from 2000 to 2016,” Bing said. “Each orange or red dot represents 17 refugees.” The overwhelming majority of the dots actually represent military aged males.

    According to the UN’s 2017 population projections, the population of Africa is projected to hit 4 billion by 2100 and the population of the Middle East is expected to hit around 1 billion, leaving little hope that poverty would ever be eradicated by immigration.

    A recent poll in Europe found immigration was also the number one issue. with anti-immigration parties winning major victories in Italy, Slovakia and Hungary.

    The European Union’s most senior migration official has meanwhile admitted to the British Guardian that no north African country has yet agreed to host migrant screening centres to process refugee claims.

    Details of an EU plan was revealed laste week. Dimitris Avramopoulos, the European commissioner for migration, said the EU wanted to “intensify cooperation” with Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Niger and Morocco, to set up a “regional disembarkation scheme”.

    But no African country had yet agreed to host screening centres, he confirmed.
