What happened: A YouGov survey across seven European countries found that a large number of people mistakenly think most immigrants reside illegally. The poll also revealed strong opposition to increasing migration and support for deportations.
Why it matters:
- Misconceptions about immigration legality may influence public opinion and policy decisions.
- The findings reflect widespread concerns about migration levels among European populations.
MNN Take: The survey highlights a gap between public perception and immigration realities, which could affect debates on migration policies across Europe.
