Anti-Immigrant Sentiment Strong in Argentina

Despite being a country comprised of immigrants and their descendants, albeit Europeans, Argentina is rife with prejudice and discrimination against newcomers. A report by the National Institute Against Discrimination, Xenophobia and Racism undertaken in collaboration with 27 universities reveals that 41% of the population believe immigrants take jobs away from Argentinians and 65% of immigrants say have faced some form of discrimination. More than legislation is required to tackle the problem. Laureano Ponce reports from Buenos Aires. teleSUR
