I've redacted my statement since it is no longer relevant, interesting data. I wonder how refugees would vote comparitively to immigrants, one would assume it would be close but I could be entirely wrong.
- solardev 3y agoI think it's a fascinating question though (how asylees and refugees would vote if they could, vs immigrants and migrants), one which I don't even have a gut feeling for. Most migrants from Central/South America will already be somewhat familiar with US culture due to geographic proximity, and often will have family and friends here who can help assimilate/absorb them into both local/municipal cultures and the broader US political landscape. Refugees and asylees don't necessarily have that, especially if they are coming from a non-democratic and non-Western culture. I would love to see data on this.
- yamazakiwi 3y agoThe "need/want to fit in" would be high so based on that... the real question is... where do they live now?
