A new poll by Axios and Noticias Telemundo finds that 42% of Latino Americans support building a wall or fence along the entire U.S.-Mexico border. When pollsters asked the same question in December 2021, the number was 30%. That’s a significant increase as the border crisis created by President Joe Biden’s policies worsens.
It’s also a more severe action than virtually anyone is now proposing. The border is about 2,000 miles long, but some of that is physically impassable and does not need a wall. Former President Donald Trump proposed building a wall on about 1,000 miles. That was enough for many Democrats to unite in hysterical opposition. Now, the Latino voters polled say they would like to see a wall or fence along the entire 2,000-mile border.
The new poll also finds that 64% of those surveyed support “giving the president the authority to shut U.S. borders if there are too many migrants trying to enter the country.” And 38% of those surveyed support “sending all undocumented immigrants in the U.S. back to their country of origin.” In 2021, that number was 28%.
In all, the poll marks a real shift in the direction of stricter border enforcement. It’s a significant change. One explanation for the change is that the context in which Latino voters consider the question has changed, too. At various times in the past, the majority of illegal border crossers came from Mexico or Central America, especially the Northern Triangle countries of El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. Now, with Biden’s virtually open border, the situation is much different. People are coming from all over the world, in large numbers, to cross illegally into the United States.
On Feb. 22, Fox News’ Bill Melugin posted on X, “Internal [Border Patrol] data we’ve obtained reveals more Chinese nationals have crossed illegally into Border Patrol’s San Diego sector in recent months than Mexican nationals.” Melugin published the top 10 nationalities apprehended in the San Diego sector since Oct. 1, 2023. Four of them were not from Mexico, Central America or South America — China, Turkey, Guinea and India. In the period Melugin listed, 28,000 people from Colombia crossed illegally into the United States, while 21,000 came from China, 6,100 from Turkey, 5,000 from Guinea and 5,000 from India.
Given that, if the point of polling Latino voters is to gauge their views on people coming illegally to the United States from Latin American countries — that’s not the way things work today. These days, illegal crossers are entering the U.S. from everywhere. Perhaps that is contributing to the changing views of Latino Americans toward border security.
In any event, Latino Americans are an important voting bloc, and in the 2024 presidential election, it appears they are moving more toward Trump than Biden.
In 2016, Hillary Clinton beat Trump among Hispanic voters by a whopping 38 points, 66% to 28%. In the 2020 election, Biden beat Trump among that group by 21 points, 59% to 38%. Now, a New York Times-Siena poll in March found Trump leading Biden by 6 points, 46% to 40%. That’s a huge change in eight years.
Of course, the first two examples are actual election results, while at this point in the 2024 race we’re relying on polls that might not be accurate and, in any event, might change before the election. But there have been many, many surveys suggesting movement of Latino voters away from Biden and toward Trump. Shifting Latino views on border security are part of that, but remember that the top issue for Latino voters, as it is for everyone else, is the economy and inflation. Put it all together, and it appears falling Latino support will be a major problem for Biden’s reelection effort.
Perhaps they don’t want this country turned into what they and their parents fled.
Or the Irish and what their ancestors fled. Or the Polish and what their ancestors fled. Or the Slavs and what their ancestors fled. Or the WASPs and what their ancestors, the Pilgrims, fled.
Argentina and Colombia are arguably in better shape than Russia and the Ukraine.
You are just so full of useless non-sequiturs today, aren’t you.
Perhaps you should get a little more protein in your diet.
FJB does not give a shat what his traitorous immigration scheme does to the USA.
He is protected from his malfeasance.
He will not remember, nor live long enough to see the results of this invasion.
My kids, grandkids will suffer.
So, MORE Chinese MILITARY MEN have crossed vs “Mexican nationals”! First of all , NO ONE SHOULD JUST “CROSS” Our Borders! Second, NO CHINESE should be allowed to enter! THIRD, How many “Mexican nationals” are STILL in Mexico and NOT already sucking up benefits and jobs in the US?
On DAY ONE, PRESIDENT TRUMP should issue an EO making it an act of TREASON to house, support, or employ an ILLEGAL! We ALREADY have LAWS concerning ILLEGALS! I do empathize with their situations in their HOME countries, but turning OUR NATION into a THIRD WORLD CRAPHOLE is NOT the solution!! OH, and turning all those ILLEGALS into DEMOcrat voters is NOT the solution even though it IS THE PLAN!
The next four years will either start us on the Road to SANITY or PLUNGE us right down to the DEPTHS of HELL!
Ceaser Chavez opposed Illegal Immagration for a good reason the Democ-Trats wan new voters to keep them in power
Most Americans-US Citizens recognize that Mexico and the Mexican government are the enemy of America and US Citizens.
House Speaker Mike Johnson and the GOP House of Representatives have betrayed America and US citizens with their vote a few days ago to provide corrupt Ukraine with more billions of US Taxpayer dollars to keep the insane Ukraine-Russia-NATO-US war going,
without providing any funds to fight the INVASION of 12 million illegal aliens from across the Mexican border,
and without providing any funds to fight the murdering by Mexico of more than 100,000 US citizens every year by Mexican manufactured drugs that are effectively pushed into America by Mexico and the corrupt Mexican government.
Therefore, I can say with almost certainty now that the GOP has cut their own throats regarding the November 2024 National elections.
The GOP will lose the House, The GOP will lose the Senate, and the GOP will lose the Presidency because of this dastardly traitorous, immoral decision that betrays America and US citizens.
“What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, but loses his soul ?” Matthew 16:26
But for Ukraine …?
What a disgrace !
Every day brings more and more evidence that America and at least half its citizens and electorate, and its “leaders” have lost their minds, become morally corrupt and lost their moral compass.
Such a nation will not thrive nor endure for long.
The Biden and democrat party/administration stab in the back policies just keeps going on and on and on ….
Betrayal and Traitorous now have new meanings.
And with sadist scatological pervert comedian ZZZZZelenskiiii and Ukraine getting so much more billions of the US taxpayer dollars,
while fighting against the INVASION of 12 millions of illegal alien hordes across the Mexican border gets nothing, and
fighting against the murder of more than 100,000 US citizens by Mexican manufactured drugs pushed into America by the Mexican government also gets nothing,
I can see now that the GOP is going to lose the House and the Presidential election in November.
Apparently the GOP also cares little about US citizens and the Mexican INVASION and the Mexican fentanyl murders of US citizens.
The GOP House has the power of the purse to squash bad spending bills.
But the GOP refuses to use their power to stop the Ukraine funding, and the GOP refuses to provide the funds for the protection of the US border.
So screw the GOP. as well as the depraved Biden/democrat stab Israel and US citizens in the back policies.
