Cato: Pro-Migration Americans Prefer Neighbors Who Share Their Customs, Habits Nearly all Americans who want more diverse immigration also prefer to live with neighbors who share their customs and habits, according to a new survey by the Cato Institute. Immigration advocates dont want to be living in a place with some Hondurans in cowboy hats whose aspiration is to buy a pickup truck in the United States, Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies, told Breitbart News. They say they want those people [in the United States], and theyll buy something from them and have their pictures taken with them, but they dont want to live in their neighborhoods.
