Meanwhile, participants in the U.S. said they believed 'welfare provision' to be the greatest downside to immigration, followed by crime.
Of all the ways that migrants contribute to the U.S., the majority of Americans view"better food" as being the best benefit the country has received as a result of immigration, a recently released YouGov poll shows.
In the U.S., 50 percent of people surveyed identified"better food" as the top benefit of immigration. Meanwhile, 43 percent said they believed local businesses and economies had benefited most from immigration, while 42 percent said U.S. culture had seen the most benefit.Of all the countries surveyed, only France diverged from the group in terms of the greatest benefit received from immigration, with respondents identifying contributions to sport as the biggest gain.
For people in the U.S., concerns over the impacts of immigration on the country's"welfare systems" ranked highest, with 42 percent identifying welfare provision as their biggest cause for concern, beating out worries over crime, jobs, security and housing. Interestingly, YouGov found that the proportion of people who named at least one negative impact of immigration was higher in all countries than the proportion who cited a positive one–except in the U.S., where 71 percent of people could name one of the benefits immigrants had contributed, compared to 65 percent who could point to"something bad."
"By contrast, 37 percent of Germans were only able to name negative consequences of immigration, making them the most skeptical of the countries," Abraham wrote."They are followed by France, Finland and Denmark where around a third quarter likewise have nothing good to say about immigration."
