structure of public opinion on that issue. This research examines four such theories: that foreign workers pose a direct threat to jobs and services; that they polarize an otherwise consensual system; that they heighten personal insecurities; and that contact with them exacerbates cultural differences. With the aid of data from the 1980 National Social Survey in West Germany, we conclude that none of the popular theories is supported by empirical evidence, and that reluctance to integrate foreign workers is not defined in terms of traditional political or socioeconomic conflict in Germany. That leaves political leadership with both the opportunity and the burden of lending definition to the positive or negative side of permanent integration for foreigners
