Donald Trump has secured a boost among Latino voters, as the number who support the construction of a border wall and deporting all illegal immigrants has soared in recent years, according to a new poll.
The survey, conducted by Axios-Ipsos in partnership with Noticias Telemundo, revealed that 42 percent of respondents supported the construction of a wall or fence along the entire U.S.-Mexico border. This represents a 12-point increase since December 2021.
The findings also showed that 38 percent support deporting all undocumented migrants, up from 28 percent in 2021.

Furthermore, the data revealed that 64 percent support giving the president the authority to shut the borders if there are too many immigrants entering the U.S.
The poll was based on a sample of 1,012 Hispanic/Latino adults aged 18 and over and was conducted between March 22 and 28.
