Immigrant Communities Brace for Impact After Trump's 2024 Victory

In New York City, particularly in the conservative area of Staten Island and the diverse immigrant community of Jackson Heights, immigration emerged as a divisive issue during the recent elections. While some immigrants support Donald Trump's promise of mass deportations, others fear the economic and social impacts of such policies. The community is split, with some immigrants advocating for legal immigration and others emphasizing the contributions of undocumented immigrants to the local economy. This division reflects broader national debates on immigration policy.
