positions on immigration dramatically alter, as a substantial portion of immigrants shift their loyalty from Democratic to Republican parties, according to a significant polling shift.
In a surprising turn of events, it seems that a substantial number of immigrants are shifting their political allegiance from the Democrats to the Republicans, particularly when it comes to immigration policies.
Analysis of voter surveys from the 2020 and 2024 U.S. elections reveals an impressive 49-point swing in the opinions of immigrants born outside the U.S., with the majority favoring the Republican Party over the Democrats on the issue of immigration.
In the 2020 presidential election, voters born in another country showed preference for the Democrats on immigration by a 58%-24% margin. However, four years later in the 2024 election, this number significantly decreased, with 45% of these voters favoring the GOP, while 30% still leaned towards the Democrats.
Interestingly, there was also a lesser but noticeable shift from Democrats to Republicans among all voters, as indicated by American National Election Studies (ANES) data.
Daron Shaw, a member of the Fox News Decision Team and the Republican partner on the Fox News poll, attributes this sizeable movement among immigrants to the fact that they "started so pro-Democrat. There’s more room for them to shift." Shaw further adds that the fusion of immigration and border security under the Republican Party, primarily during the Trump administration, has gained popularity among both immigrant and non-immigrant populations.
Immigration and border security were crucial focuses during the Trump campaign to regain the presidency in the 2024 elections. The Republicans successfully reclaimed the White House, as well as the Senate, and preserved their small House majority. Also, they made inroads among traditionally Democratic constituencies such as Black, Hispanic, and younger voters.
The discourse surrounding immigration and border security has remained prominent in U.S. politics since Trump's return to office, as demonstrated by his actions to quell ongoing riots in Los Angeles due to immigration raids directed by his administration, deploying National Guard troops and mobilizing Marines.
In conclusion, while the trend of immigrants moving away from the Democratic Party and favouring Republican policies on immigration might not be widely documented, recent data indicates a significant shift in voter preference among foreign-born citizens. This could be attributed to various factors, such as changes in the political landscape, economic and social influences, and evolving party policies. However, more in-depth research is required to fully understand this shift and its implications for the U.S. political landscape.
Fox News' insights on immigration: While many immigrants traditionally support the Democratic Party due to its generally more favorable stance on immigration reform and social inclusivity, recent shifts in the political landscape and the focus on border security may influence newcomers' political views. The Trump administration's emphasis on immigration and border security has seemed to sway some immigrants in favor of the Republican Party.
