Generation Z among Hispanics claims to know the largest number of people, family members or friends, affected by the immigration policies of President Donald Trump's administration.

61% of Generation Z personally know someone affected by Trump's immigration policies, such as raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents or procedures before the Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) office, according to a survey by the Intelligence Center of My Code for La Opinión.

“Generation Z voters are more likely than older voters to personally know someone affected by immigration policies, and this pattern is strongest among Hispanic Generation Z,” the report states.

50% of Gen Z voters overall expressed a similar situation.

“This is important because younger Hispanic voters may perceive messages about immigration through a more immediate perspective: family, community, workplace, social connections and perceived risk,” the report adds.

Millennials are the second generation that expressed greater closeness to the consequences of Trump's immigration policies, with 48% among Hispanics and 39% among voters in general.

36% of Hispanic Generation X revealed that they, their families or someone they know have been affected by Trump's immigration policies, a figure that rises to 22% among general voters of this generation.

“For Hispanic voters, immigration can encompass both a political framework and a community framework: border control, due process, conduct of authorities, family ties and trust,” the report adds.

Similar impact between Democrats and Republicans

The negative impact of Trump's immigration policies—mass deportations and changes in legal processes—has affected Hispanic Democrats and Republicans almost equally.

47% of Republican Hispanics affirm that a family member or acquaintance has been affected by Trump's immigration policies. 54% of Hispanic Democrats reported the same situation.

The percentage decreases slightly among independent Hispanic voters, standing at 42%.

"They have to get ICE off the streets; they are terrorizing people. Yesterday's news was terrible; no one deserves to die like that," said a Hispanic woman in the 25- to 34-year-old age group, when she delved into some respondents on the topic.

Republicans support ICE raids, including in schools

Although Hispanic Republican voters recognize the negative impact of immigration policies, the majority support current border policies (71%).

These voters are also reluctant to reject the blocking of asylum applications at the border (18%) or to criticize immigration control measures that include raids on schools, churches and hospitals (28%).

Only 28% of Hispanic Democratic voters and 29% of independents support current border security policies.

55% of Democrats disapprove of blocking asylum applications or refugee resettlement, and 42% of independents do as well.

Additionally, 61% of Democrats disapprove of actions by ICE—or other agencies—against immigrant communities, including raids on schools, churches and hospitals. 48% of independent voters think the same.

“The data show a clear divide between voters who prioritize border control and those more concerned about due process, law enforcement conduct, and community trust,” the report notes.

He also highlights that “immigration cannot be reduced to a partisan issue” and that politicians should address voters with this trend in mind.
