    I am pro-immigration, but I can’t deny that most immigrants coming to the U.S. are from conservative backgrounds and so it’s no wonder that results like the one in this poll happen.

    Edit possibly unreliable poll, see op ed here: https://lemmy.world/post/12773276

        You’re right, I am making assumptions about voter ages and religious backgrounds of immigrants. Younger generations are typically more left leaning, but not of voting age quite yet

          You seem to be mapping the demographic politics of the US onto other countries.

              That makes absolutely no sense as you were referring to the politics of immigrants to the US.

          That’s a very strange thing to assume. Also, you seem to be assuming that immigrants can come to the U.S. and immediately get the right to vote.
