With Massive Push, New Citizens Register to Vote in Record Numbers

Immigrants are preparing to turn out like never before. This time, they will not be marching. They will be exercising their right to vote as newly minted Americans, US-born sons and daughters of immigrants, and long-time citizens of immigrant origin.

Immigrant voters are concerned about the same issues as most Americans- the economy, healthcare, and education, to name a few. However, for many of these new voters, the looming issue of immigration reform remains a litmus test as to whether or not to trust a given candidate.

The surge of the immigrant vote may come as a surprise to many, but not to the dozens of organizations that form the We Are America Alliance (WAAA). The Alliance is driving the largest coordinated effort in our nation's history to increase immigrant civic engagement. In a push to commemorate National Citizenship Day (September 17th), Alliance members held events that successfully registered 20,000 new Latino, Asian, and immigrant voters.

Just this year, WAAA partners together have registered total of 372,591 immigrant voters, and they are set to mobilize one million voters to the polls this fall.  Their combined effort is taking place in 13 different states with large immigrant populations, several of which will play a key role in deciding the outcome of this year's election.

 

STATE                       NEW REGISTRATIONS
Arizona                       12,934   
California                    66,442   
Colorado                     34,160   
Florida                         77,101   
Illinois                         23,465   
Michigan                      8,000   
Nevada                        51,021   
New Hampshire          Not available   
New Mexico                36,153   
New York                     14,640   
Pennsylvania               32,228   
Texas                            16,000   
Virginia                             447   
TOTAL:                   372,591 

 

These impressive efforts are not happening alone. Unprecedented radio and television mobilization efforts to register and engage the Latino vote are taking many forms in key battleground states. The Wall Street Journal highlighted the efforts of the NALEO Educational Fund to drive a million new Latino voters to the polls.

The "Ya es Hora! Ve y Vota!" (Now is the time! Go vote!) campaign, supported by State Farm, Univision, and the largest Spanish-language publisher in the U.S., ImpreMedia LLC, could "create a surge of Latino voters, especially in several swing states," and, according to new polling figures, "would likely benefit Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. Between the "Ya es Hora!" Campaign and the $10 million effort led by the We Are America Alliance in 13 key electoral states, a record number of immigrant and Latino voters are being mobilized to get out and vote.

The immigration marches of 2006 and 2007 took the American public by surprise, but there should be no surprise this November, when this historic push to engage and mobilize eligible immigrant voters in battleground states results in the massive participation of a new and growing demographic.

When the political pundits begin to assess what took place in the 2008 elections, as they did in the 2006 marches, the role of the immigration debate in turning out the immigrant and Latino vote will be undeniable. All those new voters, in favor of sensible and humane immigration reform, will look to the newly-elected to recognize the role immigration played in the election and seek a fair and long-overdue immigration policy reform.

 In the absence of reform, however, we can only imagine what the 2009 marches would look like.

Glad to know that immigrants are also aware of what’s happening around our country. Their voice is also important and must be heard by the government. But, we’ve all heard of Obama’s “Blueprint for Change.” According to Eric Pianin and Lois Romano of the Washington Post, there are dozens of proposals in his Blueprint that could change the career path of many of the 1.8 million current federal employees. He plans to look at all the waste, and cut line by line. “I am not a Democrat that believes we can or should defend every government program just because it’s there,” he says. That may sound scary for some, and send others running for personal loans, but bear in mind that Obama has a broad domestic agenda that could move skilled employees from threatened divisions into new programs under his policies. He also wants to encourage young public servants with his sense of idealism to get involved in restoring the American dream through service.

If I’m not mistaken, the number of voter of this year has increased compare last year. But the good news, is everyone has participated even the immigrants. We’ve all heard of Obama’s “Blueprint for Change.” According to Eric Pianin and Lois Romano of the Washington Post, there are dozens of proposals in his Blueprint that could change the career path of many of the 1.8 million current federal employees. He plans to look at all the waste, and cut line by line. “I am not a Democrat that believes we can or should defend every government program just because it’s there,” he says. That may sound scary for some, and send others running for personal loans, but bear in mind that Obama has a broad domestic agenda that could move skilled employees from threatened divisions into new programs under his policies. He also plans to encourage young public servants with his sense of idealism to get involved in restoring the American dream through service.

Americans don’t want to hear about the national debt. It’s like a family living paycheck to paycheck, maxed out on their credit cards, trying to pretend the collection notices are all being lost in the mail. They don’t want to admit they have no ability to actually pay off the debt they’ve incurred by pursuing a flamboyant lifestyle, blowing wads of cash on high-priced wines, luxury vehicles, and an occasional line of coke—they desperately want to imagine they can keep living on money that appears from nowhere, regardless of how much they owe to everybody else and the fact that their incomes don’t even come close to matching their expenditures. Debt is a problem for most Americans, and figuring out how to limit your dependency on borrowed funds is key, like using too many payday loans or racking up more credit card debt. There is a distinction, and not many are aware of it, between good debt, and bad debt. Good debt is when you make an investment with the money you borrow, that creates value that you can reap benefit, or profit from. A house or college educations are amongst the best examples. Bad debt is where the incurring of the debt does you no good in the end, such as credit cards or a brand new car. (New cars lose several thousand in value the second you drive off the lot.) Also, with good debt, the more you pay on it, the better it is for you. For instance, the more you’ve paid on your mortgage, is the more equity or portion of your home that you own. That property value appreciates over time, which means that you make more money when you sell your home. If you rent, that is an example of bad debt. Payday loans are to be used only if you really need them, and if you use them correctly, such as to stave off a late fee, disconnect fee, or overdraft charge, they are actually saving you money.
