Abstract<\/a>: In the present \u2018Age of Migration\u2019, public policy as well as social scientists are puzzled by the \u2018New Liberal Dilemma\u2019 (Newton, 2007) of finding popular support for welfare programs that have been installed in times of cultural homogeneity. In this article, we are interested in the question of whether opinions about immigrants\u2019 access to welfare provisions originate from general preferences towards welfare redistribution, and whether this association is moderated by the national context. Using the 2008 wave of the European Social Survey, we show that particularly those who favor that welfare benefits should in the first place target the neediest, place the highest restrictions on welfare provisions for immigrants. In addition, the relationship between preferences for welfare redistribution and opinions about immigrants\u2019 access to social welfare is moderated by a national context of cultural heterogeneity. We conclude the article by drawing implications for public policy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
