* Migrant Acceptance Index declines from 5.34 to 5.21
* Several Latin American countries led the declines
* Canada most accepting country for migrants
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- As the European Union debuts a new migration pact, Gallup finds the world growing less accepting of migrants, and a number of EU countries topping the list of the least-accepting countries in the world.
Overall, the world is slightly less accepting of migrants today than it was three years ago, according to Gallup's latest update of its Migrant Acceptance Index. Between 2016 and 2019, the global score on the index, which gauges people's acceptance of migrants based on increasing degrees of personal proximity to migrants, declined from 5.34 to 5.21.
Many of the countries leading the global downturn have been on the receiving end of the mass exodus of Venezuelans fleeing the humanitarian crisis in their country. Scores dropped more than two full points in Peru, Ecuador and Colombia, which have absorbed millions of Venezuelans since 2015. Initially, many of the migrants and refugees were welcomed in these countries, but public sentiment started to turn against them as their economies, and their health, education and social assistance programs buckled under the strain.

Every political party in Parliament, the entire media, and the elites (bankers, bay street, academia), all support mass immigration, even though most Canadians don't.
Don't forget the VOLAG's.
Lutheran and Catholic Social Service make a lot of money supporting a large payroll all base don government money for resettling people.
Would the people on that payroll make as much money in the private sector? I think not.
