In five battleground states, the number of foreigners who are ready for citizenship outweighs the political margin of victory for the presidency in 2020.
The American Immigration Council ( AIC ) concluded on Thursday that the country’s 7.4 million non-native but-admired residents could win the 2024 election if some or all of them obtained citizenship before November.
Since the application process for entitled foreign nationals takes about eight months to obtain a certificate of citizenship, that is unlikely to occur.
However, the report highlights the disconnect between the size of expat neighborhoods, how they fare economically, and how powerful they are politically.
It says newcomers make up 13.8 percent of the U. S. people, but only 10 percent of available citizens.
And potential voters may theoretically influence both crucial red states and a few crucial dark ones.
The scientists found that 574, 800 refugees in Florida are good ready to shape, while former President Trump’s margin of victory that was 371, 686 seats.
In Texas, the naturalization- available population is estimated at 789, 500, and the 2020 political margin of victory was 631, 221.
In some fight state, the number of potential new voters is insignificant.
In Arizona, 164, 000 people can apply for citizen, and the voting change was 10, 457, about a 16- to- 1 amount, in Georgia, the amount is about 13- to- 1.
Pennsylvania, Nevada, North Carolina and Wisconsin all show up on the list, with registration- eligible citizen to 2020 win margin ratios of around 8- to- 1, 3- to- 1, 2- to- 1, and 5- to- 2, both.
The report also found that refugees paid 16.2 percent of all taxes paid by U. S. communities in 2022, despite having less democratic representation.
