Well known result, looks like it’s been reconfirmed.

This study needs to define conservatism/ liberalism because if the definition is based on laws like "do you support gay rights" than the study is already biased. Where do people who are libertarian or classically liberal fall? I guess I just disagree fundamentally.

Of course people can be for mass immigration based on merit, but still be pigeonholed as anti-immigration for not wanting mass numbers of literalist religious nuts in.

I'm skeptical to an extent on this one. Would like to see some peer review and replication. Another thing is the political bias in the article. Claims like conservatives use fear in politics and liberals try to calm people is very shaky.

Plenty of evidence liberals use fear politically also.

Ahhh....maybe we can just disown the basic need for physical safety. That would be smart.

My impression is that ILLEGAL immigration takes jobs from the lower strata of the work force, encourages ghetto growth and higher crime rates. This is why well screened legal immigrants should always be treated as a separate group.
