In this article, we explore how the recent influx of labour migrants to Norway from EU countries has affected public support for the welfare state. We argue that that intra-EU labour immigration may pose a challenge to welfare state legitimacy. A set of survey experiments is used to measure welfare chauvinistic attitudes towards labour immigrants in an unobtrusive manner and identify potential causal effects of intra-EU labour immigration on attitudes towards welfare spending. We find a high degree of manifest and concealed welfare chauvinism. The tendency is especially strong among women. We also identify a negative effect of intra-EU labour migration on social spending preferences per se, suggesting that tendencies already reported in the United States may have started to surface in Europe as well.
