Immigrants Are Becoming U.S. Citizens at Fastest Clip in Years

[NorthernHawkeye]

The federal government is processing citizenship requests at the fastest clip in a decade, moving rapidly through a backlog that built up during the Trump administration and the coronavirus pandemic.

...

It’s unclear how many of the new voters live in battleground states, but a number of the states where Kamala Harris or Donald Trump must win have large and growing numbers of voting-age naturalized citizens, including Georgia, Arizona, Nevada and Pennsylvania.

...

Some nine million green-card holders are currently eligible to become U.S. citizens, according to the latest official data. Naturalized Latinos, who make up the largest share of the new citizens, have historically leaned Democratic, as have naturalized Asians and Africans, according to Louis DeSipio, a political scientist at the University of California, Irvine, who studies voter behavior.

Good

 

[jneffer]

studies indicate immigrants tend to favor the political party that doesn't demonize them

 

[cigaretteman]

Good for them and good for our country.

Don't think post made the impact OP was looking for. Unless you think like a Neanderthal.

Immigrants- bad
White man- good

This may backfire for the Dems as numerous reports indicate that immigrants that came to this country legally aren’t happy with those that circumvent the process and come to this country illegally. So, those individuals won’t be automatic Dem voters.

If we don’t have immigrants our economic trajectory is downward.

"Numerous reports" In other words, what my right wing media outlets are telling me.

Immigrants that went through the legal process to be here are not fans of the illegals.

Wanting clarification from the OP. Are you against removing the backlog? Against legal immigration? These are people who followed the law and followed the steps. Why are you against the federal government doing its part? I thought efficiency was at the core of the Right wing agenda?

ok

perhaps you could consider the possiblity that some people simply support the concept of immigration regardless of whether those immigrants will vote the same way those people do
