The French have different views on immigration.

Frederic Darby, director of the Public Opinion Department of Ipsos Polling Institute, pointed out: "The more foreigners live in the community, the more inclined they are to think that immigration is a good opportunity for the country."

The proportion of people who agree with this view decreases with age. 60% of people under 35 agree with this view, 54% of people aged 35-49, 465,438+0% of people aged 50-64, and only 37% of people over 65.

Unsurprisingly, this issue has caused political division: 60% of voters on the left agree that immigration is a good opportunity for the country, while only 37% of voters on the right agree with this view (52% of voters in the People's Movement League, 43% in the French Democratic League, and1/kloc-0% in the National Front/* * and the National Movement).

The problem of illegal immigration has also split the French into two almost evenly matched camps: 45% of the respondents believe that "illegal immigration can be effectively cracked down" and 54% express the opposite view.

As for the selection criteria for foreigners who come to France by occupation or diploma, the respondents seem to have different views, with 53% agreeing and 47% opposing.

The people who are most in favor of this practice are people over 65 years old (67%), residents of Mediterranean coastal areas (63%) and craftsmen and businessmen (66%), who are most sensitive to immigration issues.
