“they vote 80% for the Democrat Party.”
True on average, but there are significant differences among sub-groups. Mexicans and Central Americans break very strongly for the Dems, and they make up of the bulk of the illegals. Mexico gets the single largest number of legal immigrant visas each year (family reunification policies).
But the most strongly Republican demographic are Cuban-Americans (although they have been moderating somewhat).
Within groups of the same Country of origin, further variation exists, based on factors like age, income/net worth, religion, education, and so on.
Just like gerrymandering a Congressional district, immigration criteria could be fine-tuned to deliver a pretty predictable mix of of D or R votes.
But even just broadly reorienting to a merit-based system would naturally produce a much more balanced political profile among the immigrant population.
Sorry, that's not accurate.
The First Wave of Cubans in 1960 were solidly Republican. They comprised Cuba's professional class and business owners, and their heritage was heavily European.
The Second Wave began in 1980. They are overwhelmingly Democrat. Their heritage is African and Caribbean, and they have concentrated most heavily in the Congressional Districts around New York City.
Re: “factors like age, income/net worth, religion, education,”
The best educated and best paid immigrant group in America is Asian Indians. They are highly concentrated in New York, Seattle, and Silicon Valley.
Asian Indian citizens voted 80% to REELECT Obama.
I stand by my original statement - 80% of new immigrant citizens vote for the Democrat Party.
The is no defending the level of legal immigration. So Karl Rove why did yo choss the name BeauBo?
