Obviously, no hard data exists on this.  I doubt Trump's anti-immigration rhetoric hurt among them, given that it was clearly not targeted at white immigrants.

I'm guessing those from the FSU were strongly for Trump.  Immigrants from Germany (the last influx was in the 50s) I suspect didn't settle anywhere in particular and assimilated quickly, so I suspect they mirror the white vote generally.  To some extent that's true of UK immigrants, but there is probably more "liberal cosmopolitans" among them, so it's hard to say.  Italian immigrants would mostly be older working class immigrants from the 50s/60s and this wave was much more skewed to the NY area - I suspect they vote like NY/NJ Italians generally and swung towards Trump.  Polish, Portuguese and Greek immigrants I suspect are more D but swung towards Trump as well.

Huge swing for Trump in the Portuguese Community in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. On the other hand, the Portuguese community in California appears to swing heavily for Hillary.
