<p>Britons are more fearful about immigration than other nations, according to a poll of people across the US, Canada and western Europe.</p>
<p>Almost one in four (23%) said immigration was the most important issue facing the country, the Transatlantic Trends survey found.</p>
<p>The other countries, including the US (9%), Canada (5%), France (8%), Germany (9%), Italy (10%), Holland (4%) and Spain (3%), appeared far less concerned.</p>
<p>The survey found 59% of Britons agreed there were &#8220;too many&#8221; people living in the country who were not born here, also a much higher figure than the other nations.</p>
<p>And seven out of 10 (70%) said the Government was doing a poor job in managing immigration.</p>
<p>A total of 47% believed legal immigrants were a burden on social services like schools and hospitals, and 33% said legal immigrants increase crime.</p>
<p>About one in four (22%) said only British citizens should have access to UK schools and 25% said only British citizens should have access to healthcare.</p>
<p>However, the survey also showed that 77% of people agreed legal immigrants were hard workers, and 43% said they were integrating well or very well into society &#8211; a higher figure than several of the other nations.</p>
<p>The Government says it is committed to reducing net migration from hundreds of thousands to tens of thousands within the lifetime of the Parliament.</p>
<p>The survey, commissioned by the US German Marshall Fund and other organisations, saw at least a thousand people from each country questioned in August, September and November last year.</p>
