The president of the United States, Donald J. Trump, This Thursday he defended his immigration policy. He assured that, in terms of deportations, “we have to do what the moment requires,” after the disaster of the Joe Biden government.
Likewise, when asked about his policy, the Republican president said: “I continue to have the support of the vast majority of Latino voters,” that understand and approve the expulsion of people with criminal recordsincluding tens of thousands with serious crimes.
Conservative support for Trump
Trump indicated that, if he ran for election today, he would win with a 25% lead. The most recent poll by the leftist network CNN revealed 98% support for Trump among Republican voters of the MAGA movement, while among conservatives in general, more than 93% support the President’s management.
For its part, a survey published in September by The Cook Political Report and TelevisaUnivision, among Latino voters in Texas, he put approval at 33%. Although the figure seems low, it is a sign of full growth in support among Latino groups for a Republican president.
A few days ago, President Trump denied that there was a change in the policy of arresting and expulsion of illegals in his administration, after information circulated linked to an alleged change, according to a report from FoxNews.
“There is no change in immigration control policy,” wrote the correspondent of Fox NewsBill Melugin, in X, after speaking with the US president and nine ICE sources.
Trump reaffirmed Fox News that ICE can continue to detain and remove anyone who is in the country illegally.
Fixing the Biden mess
Trump’s immigration policy triggered immigrant arrests to counter the chaos created for four years by Biden’s far-left government.
The Immigration Service detained almost 51,000 people in August, a record for the third consecutive month, although deportations remained at around 1,200 daily.
Less than a quarter of those arrested in July had criminal convictions, compared to almost 60% in December 2024, according to data analyzed by local media.
The United States Supreme Court announced this Thursday that it will examine whether the Trump Administration can deny immigrants facing deportation the possibility of bail.
The government maintains that it must enforce a 1996 immigration law that requires mandatory detention of people who entered the country illegally, regardless of how long ago they arrived in the United States.
