Under U.S. law, there is no legal category labeled "immigrant" as such a generic term simply means somebody that has come from his original country to live permanently in another country.
Under U.S. law, the legal terms are:
Illegal Alien: someone that has entered the U.S. illegally.
Resident Alien: someone who has a Green Card.
Non-Resident Alien: someone that has a non-immigrant visa such as a student.
Naturalized Citizen: someone who immigrated to the U.S. and has been granted citizenship with all the legal rights accorded to a U.S. citizen except the right to be elected President of the United States.

If you send out hundreds of letters to a black neighborhood stating that it is a crime for convicted felons OR BLACKS to vote, you are in deep legal trouble for voter intimidation.
If you send out hundreds of letters to an immigrant neighborhood stating that it is a crime for Illegal Aliens or Resident Aliens or Non-Resident Aliens to vote, you can get away with that.
