Are political alignments of African or Caribbean black immigrants in line with African-Americans?

Question

Anecdotally, I have found that anyone I personally know who is a first-generation immigrant from either Africa, or non-Hispanic Caribbean (less so) is a lot more likely to be "righter-wing" in their views, especially socially, than African Americans (defined here to be descendants of Africans who were brought to Americas as slaves). The dynamics seems to track similar to some other ethnic groups (Jews or Slavs who are American born vs first generation immigrants), but all I have are personal impressions. **Is there any polling data** - either in terms of party-support election polls, or polls on social issues (specific issues I'd be interested in would be one or more of: gun control, corporal punishment, school discipline, single motherhood, individual responsibility, LGBT issues, etc... - the list is basically culled from items where I observed people having more in common with my views than with predominante-polling views of most African-Americans) to show if there's a convergence/divergence in the two demographics?

Answer 1

And I found among students the greatest opposition to unchecked immigration from Mexico was my Hispanic students. A Shocker.

What you see about Africans and Caribbeans was very evident in Southern slavery, where some areas were mainly from Africa and others from the Caribbean. But there was a 3rd element. Would you have thought that most slaves saw Africa as their home rather than here? Well Frederick Douglass said:

From the Frederick Douglass' Paper, January 22, 1852:

The Colonization Scheme

There is no sentiment more universally entertained, nor more firmly held by the free colored people of the United States, than that this is their own, their native land, and that here (for good or for evil) their destiny is to be wrought out. Identified with the entire history of the American people, going back more than two hundred years, this sentiment is natural and praiseworthy. There is not now, there never has been, and we think there will never be, any general desire on the part of our people, to emigrate from this land to any other and least of all, to the wilds of Africa.
