Who could possibly be surprised by this?
With anti-immigrant sentiment soaring among Republican presidential candidates, and immigration reform stalled in Congress and the courts, New York advocacy groups, with the support of the Obama administration, are redoubling their efforts in one area they can control: citizenship. They are pushing to convert as many of the country's 8.8 million green card holders as possible into naturalized Americans.
The influence of the Latino voting bloc has added impetus to the drive. According to Latino Decisions, a polling and research firm, 80 percent of naturalized Latino citizens voted for President Obama in 2012. In New York State, there are approximately 915,000 legal permanent residents, more than 317,400 of whom are Latino, according to the Center for Migration Studies.
Nationally, nearly a third of legal permanent residents eligible to become citizens are Mexicans, a particular target of Mr. Trump, a Republican presidential candidate who has accused them of bringing drugs and crime into the United States and of being rapists.
"There's something in the air saying that they're coming for you, and that you better get as solid as you can," said Allan Wernick, the director and co-founder of CUNY Citizenship Now, a legal assistance program operated across the City University of New York system. Mr. Wernick said that the CUNY citizenship clinics were fully booked -- at 130 spots -- in November, with no room for walk-ins as there was just six months ago.
There was never the slightest doubt that "advocates" for immigration meant to change the country. The Left couldn't find enough support for its crackpot, anti-American policies among native-born, largely white Americans, so they took Bert Brecht's advice, dissolved the people. and are in the process of electing another. Thanks, Ted Kennedy!
BTW, the above sign is a laugher since Bambam's been _resident.
The next thing you know, the commie ‘RATS will be demanding taxpayer dollars for transportation to drive the freeloaders to the polls on election day.
Liberals are working hard to steal the election.
That everybody is how they will steal the 2016 election.
With anti-immigrant sentiment soaring
************************************
Start with a lie and build on it, typical Ministry of Propaganda tactic.
What the citizens are fed up with is the inundation of illegal aliens ignoring ALL of our laws and the government not just condoning it, but assisting it.
Yep, that’s their plan.
They’re not just stealing the election, they are stealing our country, right in front of our noses.
“With anti-immigrant sentiment soaring”
Anti-squatting criminal, illegal aliens
Pardon the redundancy. The left just doesn’t seen to “get it”.
Voting soon — and on the welfare wagon.
Two problems with ‘their plan’, the Courts and us.
Courts are giving Nobama a hellofa time with his other immigration plan, its quite the longshot to think everyone is going to just roll over for the more serious issue of giving them a vote.
Dog ear for later.
Of course, they need to votes.
