**Immigration Politics Shift Dramatically as Legal Immigrants Back Trump**
A seismic political shift is unfolding as recent polling indicates that legal immigrants in America are increasingly turning away from the Democratic Party's handling of immigration and finding common ground with Republican policies, particularly those championed by President Donald Trump.
A survey presented by CNN data analyst Harry Enten reveals a striking 40-point swing among foreign-born voters towards Republican perspectives on immigration issues. Previously leaning heavily Democratic by a 32-point margin in 2020, these voters now show an eight-point preference for Republican candidates in 2024.
The figures highlight an emerging trend: legal immigrants, traditionally seen as a reliable Democratic constituency, are embracing Trump’s approach. Support for the former president among this group has surged to 47%, reflecting an 11-point increase since 2016. Observers note that this shift could even be understated, with some polls suggesting Trump is winning outright among legal immigrant voters.
Commentary from conservative voices, such as Matt Carpenter of FRC Action, emphasizes that this political realignment is driven by the desire for sensible immigration policies. Many legal immigrants came to the United States seeking to better their lives and are now repulsed by the chaos and violence associated with illegal immigration, including the recent riots in Los Angeles.
Carpenter argues that the distressing consequences of the Biden administration’s open-border policies have become too apparent to ignore. Strain on public services and communities, thus far tolerated with little action, is rapidly shifting the narrative in favor of enforcing and respecting immigration laws.
As violence flares in cities like Los Angeles, where anti-ICE demonstrations illustrate deepening societal divides, it becomes clear that both political parties must take heed. The contrast between Trump’s firm stance on immigration and the chaos resulting from Democratic policies presents Republicans with a historic opportunity to resonate with voters seeking stability and lawfulness.
The question now remains: will the Democrats recognize and adapt to this evolving landscape, or will they continue to misjudge public sentiment at their own peril? With Trump’s potent message resonating more than ever, the stage is set for a significant transformation in immigrant politics moving forward.
