In reply to the discussion: Poll: Latino voters trust Trump on immigration over Biden [View all]LeftInTX
(34,502 posts)Roughly two in three Latinos say they support providing a path to U.S. citizenship for all people currently in the U.S. illegally (65%) and allowing refugees fleeing crime and violence in Latin American to claim asylum in the U.S. (59%). These levels are roughly unchanged since December 2021 (68%, 60% respectively).
That said, 64% support giving the president authority to shut U.S. borders if there are too many migrants trying to enter the country.
A minority supports building a wall or fence along the entire U.S.-Mexico border (42%) or sending all undocumented immigrants in the U.S. back to their country of origin (38%). Compared to December 2021, more Latinos support building a wall (30% in December 2021) and sending all undocumented immigrants back to their country of origin (28%).
Half of respondents (52%) say they agree that they worry that if the government starts mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, they will target all Latinos, including native and legal residents, not only the undocumented. These levels are highest among respondents who speak only Spanish (59%) as well as first generation respondents (57%).
A majority of Latinos say they think that improving border security (62%) and reforming the immigration system (70%) is important for the U.S. government to prioritize. Around one in four say that improving border security (24%) or reforming the immigration system (26%) should be the most important priority for the government.

They want border security, but don't want mass deportations. The MSM focus is on the border right now, it's not on deportations. The MSM nightly news focuses on the border. Voters need to dig deeper to find out about Project 2025. Too many don't "have the time" to do the research.
