Immigration is ‘national crisis’, 84% say

But majority don’t know how many migrants have left Malta

The perception of immigration as a crisis is rooted in wild misconceptions regarding the actual scale of the problem facing Malta, a MaltaToday survey shows. The survey reveals that 84% think Malta faces a “national crisis” because of immigration. But 50.4% believe that fewer than 500 migrants have been repatriated or left the island in the past five years. A further 5.7% believe no immigrants at all left the island in the same period. >>
