According to new exit polling, 57% of Hispanic voters think the government is doing too little to “reduce illegal border crossings and visitor overstays.” (Photo: Brandon Bell/Getty Images) Hispanic voters say the U.S. government should do more to enforce immigration laws, according to new polling data.
An exit poll conducted by Rasmussen Reports and NumbersUSA found that more than half of Hispanics who voted in the 2022 midterm elections agree that the government isn’t doing enough to reduce illegal immigration.
The survey asked Hispanic voters if the government is doing “too much” or “too little” to “reduce illegal border crossings and visitor overstays.” Among the 515 respondents, 57% said “too little,” while just 16% said “too much,” 17% said “about right,” and 11% said they weren’t sure.
Specifically, even among Democratic Hispanic voters surveyed, 49% said they thought the government was doing “too little” to reduce illegal crossings at the border.
“These results don’t surprise me ,” Simon Hankinson, a senior research fellow in the Border Security and Immigration Center at The Heritage Foundation, told The Daily Signal. (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation.)
“Wanting a secure border and an orderly, fair migration process with some limits is like asking for safe streets and lower crime—a sensible and mainstream point of view,” Hankinson said. “Counting on Hispanic Americans as a permanent bloc vote against commonsense policies is a poor long-term strategy.”
However, the Brookings Institution’s Gabriel Sanchez said that 64% of Latinos reported “that they voted for a Democratic House candidate, compared to 33% who reported they voted for Republican candidates” in the 2022 midterms.
In October alone, Customs and Border Protection reports its agents encountered 230,678 illegal aliens along America’s southern border .The Rasmussen Reports survey also asked Hispanic voters: In an effort to “control illegal immigration, how important is […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
