MAJOR EUROPEAN ANTI-IMMIGRATION SENTIMENT

by Bob Walsh

A respectable foreign policy think-tank in the U.K. recently completed a survey of 10,000 people in ten European countries. The survey was actually taken before all the hoohah over President Trump's recent immigration order. (That still feels weird. President Trump. Strange.)

In any event about 55% of those surveyed expressed the opinion that the immigration tap should be turned OFF into Europe from Muslim countries. Only 20% had no problem with it. (Those people were probably Muslims anyway.)

Just thought you might like to know. It looks like the actual voters (as opposed to the political ruling class) in much of Europe might be about ready to pull a Trump in their own elections. The next one to step up and do it might be France. A right-wing French nationalist female is running ahead in the polls in the upcoming national elections there.
