‘People tend to think there are more immigrants in their country than there really are.
In the US, for example, the average person believes that 33% of people were not born there. However, official estimates from government agencies show that the figure is just 15%...
In Japan, people guess that 10% of the population are immigrants, but the accurate figure is around 2%.’

Is this due to mis-information generally ? Seems the media (esp dailyfail) will take a small survey of information and extrapolate fromk that a much wider (and inaccurate) picture,l we also see figures in a mixed format, for example
x % of respondants said yes
2/3 of respsondants said No
Rather than sharing the information in a connsistant way.
