The survey, which was conducted before Donald Trump’s inauguration, explored how Latinos viewed their status in the U.S. and expectations they had about the Trump presidency. “This pattern for top issues among U.S. Latinos has been fairly consistent for a number of years in Pew Research Center surveys,” the report said. The survey also found that 47% of Latinos worried to some extent that they or a family member or close friend could be deported. Latinos held similar views regarding the issue of deportations in 2013, according to the Pew Research Center survey. Whether immigration would rise as a priority for Latinos if they were surveyed after Trump’s ascension to the White House is a question.
