Don't deter from your decision to apply for US citizenship!

Political analysts have argued for years about what the national stalemate over immigration reform does to Hispanic turnout at the polls. Does the immigration debate motivate Hispanic voters to get more involved in the electoral system, or does it cause them to drop out and stay home?

Polling of Hispanic voters indicates that immigration reform is not one of their top issues, especially since the recession has intensified. The numbers suggest that Hispanics who have attained citizenship and the right to vote have moved beyond immigration as their core issue for not to apply for US citizenship.
