Abstract: 
Although immigration of workers generates a positive externality on members of domestic pension systems, many countries are very reluctant to allow foreigners into their labor markets. In a political economic framework, we explain this voting outcome by considering a young unskilled median voter who faces - in addition to a reduction of contribution rates - negative effects from immigration as well.
