Takeaways NEW
Britons are more skeptical about giving migrants who have entered the country illegally a path to legal status than other Europeans, according to a study of five nations.
UK respondents to the survey of 20,000 people displayed the most ambivalent or restrictive views toward so-called irregular migrants, the research from the European University Institute in Italy and the University of Uppsala in Sweden showed. People in Poland, Sweden, Austria and Italy were also surveyed.
