CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten said on Wednesday that legal immigrant voters are in favor of President Donald Trump’s hawkish immigration policies.
Foreign-born citizens have moved to support the political right’s views on immigration, with the Republican Party currently holding an eight-point lead on the question of who is more trusted on immigration policy, Enten said on “CNN News Central,” citing his own aggregate data. In 2020, the Democrat Party held a 32-point lead among this demographic on the same question.
“Immigrant citizens, immigrant voters and foreign-born voters have gone tremendously to the right on this issue in 2024 and 2025 versus where they were in 2020,” Enten said. “If you go back to 2020, Democrats get this, they held a 32-point lead on this issue. Immigrant voters were in the Democratic camp. Jump forward to 2024 and 2025, look at that shift! A 40-point shift toward the right among immigrant voters. Republicans now lead on this issue by eight points over Democrats, more than any other group that I could find. The group of voters who became more hawkish on immigration were in fact immigrants themselves, immigrants who are registered to vote in this country.”
Trump earned a significantly higher percentage of the vote among immigrant citizens, jumping from 36% in 2016 to 47% in 2024, according to Enten’s aggregate data.
“There may be all this stuff right now on undocumented immigrants and Trump being harsh on them. But immigrant voters have increasingly like Donald Trump and have increasingly moved to the right on immigration into the Republican camp,” Enten continued.
Immigrant voters have shifted their opinions to hold a negative view of illegal immigrants. Illegal immigrants’ net favorability rating among legal immigrants stands at -6 points in 2025 after it had been 23-points above water in 2020.

Very.
It’s the billionaire class (Kock Brothers on the right, Soros on the left) that loves cheap illegal alien labor to supress American wages and boost corporate profits. That’s one reason why they hate Trump— he is a class traitor.
People come to the United States because they like what they see. And they know they won’t continue to have it if the Open Borders maniacs hold the upper hand. They remember what they left behind, and they want to keep it behind them.
Great news for Trump.
It irks me when the person ahead of me has 15 items in the 10 items or less check out line.
I can only imagine what it would be like to spend the time and money to become a legal citizen (and then get to pay taxes) and see others just hop the border and get paid under the table and get welfare and free medical to boot.
I’ll admit that I did not use the correct word there. I actually struggled over which word to use for a while. I ended up going with *irk* hoping it wasn’t too weak. I chose incorrectly. Oops.
Of course, rounding them up and shipping them out also works to help them figure out their pros and cons list of how best to come to the USA.
I’m so sorry! I just saw this reply to my post this morning. Thanks for the clarification and I agree with you 100%!
