Immigrant Communities Face Unsettling Changes Amidst Political Shifts in the U.S.

• Many long-established Latino immigrants feel resentment towards the Biden administration for failing to provide meaningful reforms that could benefit them, as newly arrived asylum seekers receive work permits and benefits that they do not.
• The frustration has led to an increase in support for Donald Trump among Latino voters, who feel abandoned by the Democratic Party and are concerned about the influx of new immigrants who seem to be treated preferentially.
• Critics, including former Latino Democrats, express disappointment in the Democratic Party for not delivering on immigration reform promises and allowing large numbers of asylum seekers to enter the country without addressing the needs of long-term undocumented residents.
