Latino support for border wall, deportations jumps

The percentage of Latinos who say they support building a border wall and deporting all undocumented immigrants has jumped by at least 10 points since 2021, according to the latest Axios-Ipsos Latino Poll in partnership with Noticias Telemundo.

Why it matters: The findings suggest former President Trump's calls for more border security — and perhaps his anti-immigrant rhetoric — are registering even among people who may have ties to immigration.

The findings also reflect the frustration that has made illegal immigration a top election-year issue for many Americans, and shed light on Republicans' recent inroads among Latinos.

The poll arrives as Trump's racist criticisms of immigrants are raising concerns about violence during the 2024 campaign.

The big picture: Trump has promised to step up border security if he returns to the White House, and plans mass deportations that he says could involve 1 million people.
