The organization’s recent poll in 18 regional countries found that seven out of ten Latin Americans reject the presence of immigrants in their country. Ecuador and Costa Rica are the most intolerant countries towards newcomers, whereas Uruguay and Nicaragua appear to be highly tolerant towards immigrants.
The study shows that only 35% of Chileans think foreigners should be able to have the same rights as they do. The concept of foreigners living in Chile is supported by 13% of the population, while only 9% of Chileans think that poor people from a different race should be able to come to their country. Additionally, only 28% of all Chileans back the idea of open regional migration in order to promote integration.”*
