Child welfare officer in Saginaw , Michigan , is alarmed that many Latinos do not take seriously the former US president’s threats of mass deportations.

Support for Trump is rising among Latinos , who account for about 15% of voters, across the US .

A recent Siena poll showed that nearly one in 10 Hispanic voters people with roots in Spanish -speaking countries who backed Biden in 2020 will vote for Trump this year .

Latinos account for about 9% of Saginaw county’s population.

Most are of Mexican descent whose families were drawn to the area by the once-booming American car industry and other factory jobs during the first half of the 20th century .

Shifting religious allegiances may also account for some of the increased support.

It’s been demotivating. But the alternative is so far worse to me on all of those subjects that I would never consider voting for them.”.
