‘Right Into His Strengths’: ‘Morning Joe’ Guest Reports Trump Has Massive Edge Over Kamala Harris On This Issue

Murray also noted that Trump’s rhetoric on the issue of immigration was not generating a lot of backlash among Hispanic voters. Trump picked up substantial support among Hispanic voters in polling due to issues like immigration and the economy before President Joe Biden announced he would not seek reelection on July 21.

A Fox News poll of Arizona voters released in September showed Harris only led Hispanic voters by 11 points, a factor in Trump leading by three points in the border state. Trump led Harris on who could handle immigration among Hispanic voters by 25 points in March, according to CNN.

While Harris has regained some support from Hispanic voters in polling since replacing Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket, she still lags behind Biden’s numbers in the 2020 election.

“When you talk about the immigration issue and Latino voters specifically, you know, our own deep dive into Latino voters shows that Latinos aren’t monolithic, that you end up having conservative Latinos, you end up having liberal Latinos, you have Latinos who live in California, those who live in Florida, and they are very diverse,” Murray added. “But what has happened is that Latino voters are really split when it comes to, do you want to see more enforcement, a crackdown at the border, or do you want to see a more, a path to legalization, a path to citizenship? The DREAM Act. And we — you know, how divided we are as a country ends up showing just how divided the Latino community is and Latino voters are as a whole.”

Border Patrol has encountered over 7 million illegal immigrants since the start of fiscal year 2021, according to figures released by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
