Thread: Minority Voters’ Views on Immigration

An Examination of Minority Voters’ Views on Immigration

While it is sometimes assumed that minorities, particularly Hispanics, favor increased immigration and legalization for illegal immigrants, a new Zogby survey finds that minority voters’ views are more complex.
