Poll: Americans Name 'Better Food' As Biggest Benefit Of Immigration

With immigration taking center stage as one of the most widely debated issues in the U.S. and abroad, YouGov conducted a study across the U.S. and in seven European nations to "find out exactly what citizens believe to be the impact of migrants on their country--for good and ill." The study was conducted in November 2018 and published on Thursday.

In nearly all countries surveyed, including the U.S., Britain, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark and Germany, "better food" ranked as the greatest benefit countries had received from immigration, outweighing contributions to culture, local businesses and economies, local communities, music and sport.
