Immigrants who became U.S. citizens will make up 1-in-10 American adults eligible to vote in the November election, the highest percentage ever, according to a report released Wednesday.
A new study by nonpartisan think tank Pew Research concluded approximately 23.2 million immigrants, or naturalized citizens who were born outside of the United States, will be able to vote in the presidential election, as well as state and local elections this year. That figure is nearly double the 12 million immigrants who were eligible to vote in 2000. It has climbed over the past two decades and stood at 20.6 million in 2016.
As the number of immigrants eligible to vote has increased through the years, so has the percentage of immigrants within the eligible voting population. In 2000, 6.2% of voters were born outside the U.S. That percentage has grown with every presidential election cycle to 9.8% in 2020.

ReplyDeleteRound them all up and deport every darn one of them.
ReplyDeleteThis may not bode well for the Democrats as a lot of immigrants resent the party that condones the presents of the illegals.

Like Christmas presents or birthday presents?
At least they are doing it legally. Good for them on following the guide lines to become U.S citizens and earning the privilege to vote.
