Immigration Watch International (2): Hispanics Trust Trump over Biden on Economy, Immigration, Ukraine, and Israel by over 20 Points

Hispanics Trust Trump over Biden on Economy, Immigration, Ukraine, and Israel by over 20 Points

Amidst the most chaotic border crisis in our nation’s history, the skyrocketing cost of living, a housing crisis, and a series of destabilizing international events, President Joe Biden’s approval rating sits at a record low. Biden’s poor performance among minorities – particularly Hispanics – is a crucial factor in his dwindling support, with new polls showing Biden losing to former President Donald Trump among Hispanics after winning them by 33 points in 2020.

There is no shortage of evidence that Biden is rapidly losing support among key coalitions of the Democratic party, including young people, women, and minorities, but these trends do not appear to be reversing anytime soon.

A recent USA Today/Suffolk University poll finds a harrowing uphill battle for Biden when it comes to recovering ground with minorities – especially hyper-critical Hispanics who may abandon him altogether in November according to public opinion polls.

The USA Today poll reveals Trump is now leading Biden among Hispanics by 5 percentage-points – 39% to 34% – after Biden won Hispanics by 33 points in 2020. This amounts to a close to 40-point swing away from Biden, a number so startling it would almost be unbelievable – if it weren’t for the fact that Hispanics have been giving Biden increasingly harsh performance rankings for the past three and a half years.

A February Morning Consult poll found Hispanics say their financial situation was better off under Trump than Biden by 24 points – just six points shy of the share of Whites who say the same thing.

The poll also found wide, double-digit preferences for Trump among Hispanics when it comes to handling a variety of issues from crime to the economy, the border, Ukraine, and Israel. Hispanics are also much closer to whites on most of these issues than they have been in the past.

Hispanics trust Trump to handle the economy over Biden by 25 points – 54% to 29%. This is nearly identical to the share of whites who feel the same way, with whites trusting Trump over Biden on the economy by 27 points.

The same poll finds that despite the best attempts of Open Borders proponents to portray Trump as an extremist on immigration, Hispanics largely agree with Trump and want to secure the southern border. Hispanics trust Trump to handle immigration over Biden by 23 points – 52% to 29%. This number is just nine points lower than the share of whites who trust Trump over Biden on the border.

On crime, Hispanics trust Trump over Biden by 14 points – 47% to 33% – while whites trust Trump over Biden by 28 points, a 14-point difference.

Hispanics narrowly trust Trump more to handle the housing crisis, with Hispanics saying they trust Trump over Biden to handle housing by two points – 40% to 38%. Whites trust Trump by 16 points to handle housing.

Hispanics also broadly trust Trump over Biden on both the Israel-Hamas war and the Russia-Ukraine war. Hispanics trust Trump over Biden on Israel by 22 points – 48% to 26%. This is once again nearly identical to the share of whites who trust Trump more. Whites trust Trump over Biden by 23 points on the Israel-Hamas war.

Hispanics also place much more trust in Trump to navigate the Russia-Ukraine conflict, with Hispanics saying they trust Trump over Biden by 20 points – 48% to 28%. This is close to the share of whites who feel the same way, with whites trusting Trump over Biden on the Ukraine conflict by 20 points, 50% to 30%.

Interestingly, Hispanics trust Trump the most on the issue of U.S.-China relations, and they trust him slightly more than whites do. The poll finds Hispanics trust Trump by 28 points – 53% to 25% – on China. This is slightly greater than the share of whites who trust Trump on China, with whites trusting Trump over Biden by 26 points.

The fact that Biden is on track to lose double-digits with Hispanics according to recent polls is less far-fetched when considering just how poorly Hispanics view Biden’s handling of the country. From the economy to the border crisis to relations in the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and China, Hispanics broadly trust Former President Trump over Biden. Given that Hispanics have historically favored Democrats, this deterioration in support could be catastrophic for the left, and may not be easily corrected.

Background

Postings from Brisbane, Australia by John Ray (M.A.; Ph.D.) -- former member of the Australia-Soviet Friendship Society, former anarcho-capitalist and former member of the British Conservative party.

Why is "La Raza" the one Spanish term that is NEVER translated in the American mass media? Because translating it would make it a lot less respectable. It means "THE RACE" -- The mixed Hispanic "race" of Mexico. Racism is fine South of the Rio Grande only, apparently.

The "line" of this blog is that immigration should be SELECTIVE. That means that:

1). A national government should be in control of it. The U.S. and U.K. governments are not but the Australian government has shown that the government of a prosperous Western country can be. Up until its loss of office in 2007, the conservative Howard government had all but eliminated illegal immigration. The present Leftist government has however restarted the flow of illegals by repealing many of the Howard government regulations.

2). Selectivity should be based on "the content of a man's character, not on the color of his skin", as MLK said. To expand that a little: Immigrants should only be accepted if they as individuals seem likely to make a positive net contribution to the country. Many "refugees" would fail that test: Muslims and Africans particularly. Educational level should usually be a pretty fair proxy for the individual's likely value to the receiving country. There will, of course, be exceptions but it is nonetheless unlikely that a person who has not successfully completed High School will make a net positive contribution to a modern Western society.

3). Immigrants should be neither barred NOR ACCEPTED solely because they are of some particular ethnic origin. Blacks are vastly more likely to be criminal than are whites or Chinese, for instance, but some whites and some Chinese are criminal. It is the criminality that should matter, not the race.

4). The above ideas are not particularly blue-sky. They roughly describe the policies of the country where I live -- Australia. I am critical of Australian policy only insofar as the "refugee" category for admission is concerned. All governments have tended to admit as refugees many undesirables. It seems to me that more should be required of them before refugees are admitted -- for instance a higher level of education or a business background.

5). Perhaps the most amusing assertion in the immigration debate is that high-income countries like the USA and Britain NEED illegal immigrants to do low-paid menial work. "Who will pick our crops?" (etc.) is the cry. How odd it is then that Australians get all the normal services of a modern economy WITHOUT illegal immigrants! Yes: Before the pandemic, you usually COULD buy a lettuce in Australia for a dollar or thereabouts. And Australia IS a major exporter of primary products.

6). I am a libertarian conservative so I reject the "open door" policy favoured by many libertarians and many Leftists. Both those groups tend to have a love of simplistic generalizations that fail to deal with the complexity of the real world. It seems to me that if a person has the right to say whom he/she will have living with him/her in his/her own house, so a nation has the right to admit to living among them only those individuals whom they choose.
