While the majority of voters across the board support halting immigration due to the coronavirus, Hispanic voters are more in favor of a moratorium than white voters are.
A new poll from the Washington Post revealed that 65 percent of all voters want all immigration to the United States to be put on pause.
When asked “Would you support or oppose temporarily blocking nearly all immigration into the United States during the coronavirus outbreak?” approximately 65 percent of Americans said they favored the idea. Only 34 percent opposed an immigration moratorium while one percent did not have an opinion on the matter.
Though immigration moratoriums are often branded “racist” when pitched by Republicans, the pollsters found that 67 percent of white voters supported one, as well as 69 percent of hispanic voters.
