LPOEnglish Centrist Democrats about-face on immigrants: 'We might as well give the election to Trump'
The first night of the second round of debates of Democratic presidential candidates had a remarkable turn: several of the centrist candidates who faced Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders changed their tune regarding undocumented immigrants.
Another interesting detail of the survey is that Americans who believe that the number of legal immigrants should rise has risen to 32 percent, a growth of points since 2001, while those who thought that the number of legal migrants should be reduced, fell to 24 percent. Thirty-eight percent of those polled, think that the numbers should stay as they are.
In regards to comprehensive immigration reform, something that in the Trump era seems impossible to achieve, but which could change in 2020, only 27 percent of Americans said they felt that granting legal status to undocumented immigrants was like rewarding them for doing something wrong. 67 percent said they didn't see it that way. This is a striking change and suggests that voters are ready for a reform that could normalize the lives of millions of people.
According to Lee Koh, it is not surprising that for the Latino population the immigration issue is not the main priority"because each community has such different immigration histories". That is, the communities of Cuban-Americans and Mexican-Americans have diametrically opposite experiences with immigration to the U.S.
For President Trump, immigration reform means closing the so-called"legal loopholes" that allowed asylum seekers to remain in the US indefinitely; also to discontinue the so-called"chain migration"; reduce the number of legal immigrants; and tighten the requirements to apply for asylum.
