Immigration Policy Center: New American Voters are fastest-growing voting bloc

New Americans, defined as immigrant citizens and the US-born children of immigrants, are the fastest-growing new voting bloc in the US. Since 2006, they've accounted for 1 in 10 registered voters, and 'turbo-charged' citizenship and voter registration efforts that built off of the momentum of the 2006-2007 immigration marches have only driven up these numbers.

According to the today's new Immigration Policy Center report, "The New American Electorate":

* New Americans Were Nearly 9% of All Registered Voters in 2006
* New Americans Registered Voters Jumped Nearly 60% between 1996 and 2004
* New Americans Share of Registered Voters Exceeded the 2004 Victory Margins in 16 States Including Battlegrounds: Nevada, Florida, New Mexico and Pennsylvania.

For many of the 1 million new citizens that have taken oaths since 2007, as for many of these Newest America Voters, immigration reform is a defining issue that is driving them to vote.

The momentum of the 2006 and 2007 immigration marches has pivoted into this historic display of electoral power by the New American Voter. As we mentioned last week, the Sleeping Giant is awake, alive, and getting ready to roar. It is not just Latino voters, but new citizens, Asian voters, and sons and daughters of immigrants who will change the face of this election.

Your name:  Immig. Policy Center.  Firstly, you’re part of the effort to have immigrants take or steal electoral power, incl. illegals.  You are pretending to be THE policy center???  Puhleeeeze.  You are obnoxious and you just don’t get it.  Your premise is non-existence of U.S. sovereignty.  Why do you pretend to be the “policy center”??  The CIITZENS of this country are the policy center.  There’s a MOUNTAIN of evidence why past floods of immigration are NOT good for this country.  Your email is a transparent attempt to glom some consensus, without stating your goals.  Only the guilty hide. 

The unfortunate stories of illegals are just that: unfortunate.  Newsflash:  it is NOT the citizens’ obligation to underwrite any and all.  We live by the rule of law.  Your other premise is that there is no such rule, akin to no sovereignty. 

Anyone with a brain can tell what you’re doing.  This is NOT about xenophobia.  It would not matter what race the illegals are.  It DOES matter what’s good for U.S. citizens, our economy and our ecology.  Get it?  Is that English enough for you? 

Unfortunately, many Americans are just plain dumb, and don’t know what’s going on, and don’t care.  This is a fertile ground for parasites such as yourselves.  Only a weakened host can promote disease. 

Now… go and report how ‘racist’ and ‘xenophobic’ your comments like this are.  Moan and cry foul and all the rest.  You nauseate people with a brain.

ugg boots london I saw something shocking uggs londonon my way to work the other day. uggs new york While bundled in a long sleeved shirt, wool sweater and coat, with a Pashmina, hat and gloves,ugg boots london sale I saw a man with his bike a the bus stop in SANDALS. He wasn’t overly well dressed for cold weather, in jeans, t-shirt and open jacket. Now, having lived in Oregon for the past decade I have come to be aware of what “true Oregonians” consider winter attire. ugg boots london shopThis primarily consists of the inbred belief that flip-flops are a necessity year round, and sweaters and umbrellas are for tourists.
I do not uphold this belief.ugg boots sale london I love getting dressed up for winter, layering on leggings with my sweater dress and ugg boots new york, a sweater and a jacket, and a rotating army of scarves, hats and gloves.ugg boots london stockists I don’t enjoy being frozen, especially knowing how easy a situation that is to avoid. uggs new york saleSo personally, buy ugg boots londonI do not consider myself a “true Oregonian.” I like umbrellas, and only wear flip flops when it’s above 75 degrees.Based on the population of Oregon, ugg new york I’m probably in the minority. Although I have come to accept that these people are just immune to cold in a way I am not, uggs new york of sale I do still think they are crazy. I’m guessing that the good folks at UGG Australia caught wind of these people because look at what they have to offer: sandals with fleece!uggs new york on sale
