An Ipsos poll released on April 9 shows that U.S. Latino voters prefer President Donald Trump’s populist immigration policies to President Joe Biden’s low-wage policies.
29 percent of 1,000 Latinos told Ipsos Only 22% said Biden was “good for immigrants,” compared to 22% who said Trump was “good for immigrants.”
of Opinion polls have also been reported Forty-two percent of Latinos support a border wall, and 38% support deporting immigrants to their home countries, even though their families and neighbors sympathize with them.
These poll numbers were much higher than in December 2021, when just 30 percent of Latinos supported the wall and 28 percent supported deportation.
64% support giving the president the power to close the U.S. border if too many immigrants try to enter the country.
“About one in four say improving border security (24%) or reforming immigration (26%) should be the government’s most important priority,” the poll said. .
These numbers may underestimate support among American Latinos for Trump’s policies. The poll surveyed not only citizens and potential voters, but also adults. Of the 1,080 survey respondents, only 835 were likely to vote.
This poll is consistent with many other polls and also shows that Latinos are deeply concerned about: local crime And the wallet issue — inflation and employment — like many other Americans.
These mainstream concerns also contributed to Trump’s score, according to the poll: “When asked which option is better for the U.S. economy, more Latinos say Trump (20%) than Biden (20%). 42%). When it comes to crime and public safety, Trump (31%) is ahead of Biden (20%). ”
But the poll also shows that most Latinos, especially those in low-income families, lean toward Democratic big government policies. But they also support President Trump’s populist policies over the pro-business policies promoted by the Republican Party’s rapidly shrinking establishment faction.

The reaction on immigration and funding suggests that President Trump’s strong support for low-immigration policies is likely a rational response to the economic damage caused by Biden’s high-immigration policies.
Biden’s policies would invite at least 7 million Southern immigrants and about 4 million legal immigrants and visa workers to compete with Americans for jobs, wages, housing, and decent K-12 school seats. You are invited to do something. The floods bring chaos and poverty to many struggling communities of all races and ethnicities.
So far, Republican candidates have largely ignored the fiscal damage caused by Biden’s immigration. Instead, they are using immigration to boost turnout among Republican voters by blaming the crime, disorder, and drug smuggling enabled by Biden’s policies.

But some Republicans have begun to appeal to swing voters, including Latinos, by decrying the economic costs and burdens of Biden’s immigration policies, such as increasing poverty and increasing burdens on local governments. There is.
Democrats certainly recognize the economic impact of immigration policy, in part because their Wall Street allies want to lower wages and raise home prices.
They denounce President Trump’s centrist policies as racist, while providing taxpayer dollars to offset the damage to their pockets from immigration policies. For example, Biden talked about his housing costs in an April 9 speech. interview Spanish language television station Univision and:
Department: During a recent trip to Nevada and Phoenix, we spoke with Victor and Maria Cregno. They bought their first home at age 51 thanks to a loan from the federal government that allowed them to make a down payment on their first home. So how will the new Biden-Harris administration make homeownership possible for families across the country?
Biden: First of all, if you’re buying your first home or moving from a small home to a larger home, we’ve created a feature where you can basically get paid $10,000 to buy your first home. It offers. You may decide to move to another home due to interest rates or other reasons. That, again, is about growing the economy and making life possible for people. [sic]. And we provided millions of new homes, or we subsidized rent, or we sent people big checks to help with rent. Because this also overwhelms the interests of the country. [sic] That we do it. That’s why we have a massive housing program through the Department of Health, Department of Housing and Urban Development. I would add that there is a major program that provides rent subsidies through a bill that no Republican voted for. Think of all the people who were able to stay in their homes during and after the pandemic because we subsidized their rent. Why not… why doesn’t it make sense? And encourage builders to build these houses or build apartments? And that’s, I have the numbers here, but anyway…it’s a significant impact.
Democrats are simultaneously using claims of racism and Republican elitism to scare Latino voters away from both the populist Trump and the pro-business wing of the Republican Party.
A plurality of Latinos have an unfavorable view of Biden (41% favorable, 47% unfavorable), while Trump is even less favorable (32% favorable, 56% unfavorable). ).

Latinos say Democrats represent people like them (36%) and care about Latinos and Hispanics compared to Republicans (16% and 12%). (34%) and are much more likely to say they share their values (32%). , 17%, respectively).
…
Half of respondents (52%) said that if the government began mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, it would target all Latinos, including natives and legal residents, not just those in the country illegally. He said he agrees with the concerns. These levels were highest among Spanish-only speaking respondents (59%) and first-generation respondents (57%).
Other recent poll The percentage of Latinos in California also shows similar Latino concerns about immigration and money.
For example, the Public Policy Institute of California poll Out of 1,075 likely California voters. It asked voters to decide:[1] Today’s immigrants benefit California because of their hard work and work skills, or [2] Today’s immigrants are a burden to California as they use public services. ” 44% of likely voters and 41% of Latin Americans chose “burden.” According to a poll, 48% of people in battleground states said relocation was a burden.
According to a poll conducted by Axios, saying:
The survey results suggest that former president trumpHe calls for increased border security – and perhaps his anti-immigrant rhetoric — Registrations are also taking place among people who may have connections with immigrants…. Between the lines: Recent research published in european political science review This suggests that despite Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric, support among Latinos has not increased.
Biden’s extractive immigration policies have brought about 10 million legal and illegal immigrants into the United States since 2021. helped investors By raising real estate prices and lowering American wages.
