Note the poll question illustrated by the chart in the tweet was about legally allowed immigration policy: Should we allow more immigrants to move to our country, fewer immigrants, or about the same as we do now?

Also note last paragraph

On Dec. 10, representatives of most countries worldwide are expected to gather in Morocco to sign the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration, a non-legally binding agreement intended to manage migration for both origin and destination countries. However, the compact’s effect on future migration remains unknown, in part because several nations have said they will not adopt it. This list includes the U.S., Australia, Hungary and Poland.

Brits, Americans and French far more tolerant of immigration than Nigerians, Indians and South Africans.

Rubbishes idea scepticism towards more immigration boils down to white racism.

We need to view this as a global trend rather than opportunity to lecture Western societies. https://t.co/W6PFRoyKmZ
