Immigration Policy Center to Gillibrand: Here’s a Snapshot of Your State

Statue Of Liberty Everyone is talking about whether newly-minted Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) will be able to reign in her controversional immigration stance.

Well, now the Immigration Policy Center is serving up a snapshot of the new Senator's Empire State. Here's the intro to it:

As Kirsten Gillibrand assumes her new responsibilities representing the people of New York State in the U.S. Senate, she will find her constituents are now a far more diverse group than the residents of the state's 20th congressional district near Albany, whom she previously represented in the House of Representatives. Not only is New York one of the most ethnically diverse states in the nation, but it is also an historic gateway for immigrants from virtually every part of the world.

Just what does Gillibrand's state look like? Here are just a few of the many highlights:

- Latinos and Asians account for nearly one in four residents of New York.

- Latino and Asians make up nearly 13% of all registered voters in New York.

- Nearly 18% of all registered voters in New York are New Americans

But perhaps most importantly right now:

New York’s immigrants are responsible for $229 billion in economic output in New York State, or 22.4% of the total New York State GDP.

With stats like that, it shouldn't be too hard for Gillibrand to switch her immigration brand.
