| Abstract: | This article outlines some of the key findings of the 2008 and 2009 Transatlantic Trends: Immigration 1 public opinion study. The countries surveyed include the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and, for 2009 only, Spain and Canada. 2 Some of the findings are highlighted in this article, including the limited effect of the economic crisis on attitudes; approval ratings of governments’ migration management; political support for U.S. immigration reform components; Canada’s outlier optimism; increasing Dutch skepticism; and support for the resettlement of migrants displaced by the effects of worldwide climate change. |
