Pollster Gallup said 54 percent of respondents it surveyed in 143 nations last year view their communities as migrant-friendly. North America didn't see much change from the 2010 and 2018 surveys, whereas 80 percent and 79 percent, respectively, answered favorably. The high North American figure is due, in large part, to sentiments in Canada, where 90 percent said their community is migrant-friendly, the highest share of any nation in the poll. Seventy-eight percent of respondents in the United States answered that way. Nations that expressed the lowest migrant-friendly attitudes were Hungary, where just 17 percent answered favorably, Cambodia (20 percent), Malaysia and Bulgaria (24 percent), and Turkmenistan and Latvia (26 percent).
