It turns out it's not just Trump or a minority (or majority) of people in the United States that have an issue with immigration from Muslim majority countries. Before Trump even signed the executive order for the ban on seven Muslim majority countries from entering the United States for 90 days, Chatham House did a survey in Europe about immigration.
More than 10,000 people from 10 European countries were asked to what extent did they either agree or disagree with the following statement:
‘All further migration from mainly Muslim countries should be stopped’
On average, 55% agreed to stop further migrations from Muslim majority countries, with 25% remaining undecided and the final 20% disagreeing.
Only 2 of the 10 countries had a majority agreement of less than 50%, and none of them disagreed above 32%. That shows that overall, in every country that was surveyed, there are more people that want to stop Muslim immigration. Public opposition to further Muslim migration is strongest in Austria, Poland, Hungary, France and Belgium, with at least 38% strongly agreeing with the surveys statement.
The survey also found that opposition is intense among retired old-age people, with less opposition from those below 30 years old. There is also an educational divide, with 59% of the secondary education level opposed Muslim immigration, while less than half of people that held a college or university degree supported such restrictions.
The location of those surveyed also affected how they responded to the statement. People in rural and less populated areas were 58% opposed to more Muslim immigration, whereas in cities it's just over half of people that agree. Those who feel left behind in the political system, such as two thirds of the population who didn't get the election results they wanted are feeling like they don't have control over their own lives and what is going on in their area, with some being overrun and taken over in some cases.
I will add that Chatham House is the Royal Institute of International Affairs. The RIIA is the UK version of the American CFR/Trilateral Commission. I find that interesting. These are the Fabian Socialists (i.e. globalists). You can learn about their "hidden-hand" machinations and manipulations over the previous two centuries in Carroll Quigley's book Tragedy & Hope: A History of the World in Our Time, or the smaller Anglo-American Establishment.
