Immigrants don’t need to have the right to vote to affect elections in the United States — simply by being here, they can tip the scales. The apportionment of House seats and votes in the Electoral College among the states is based on total population — not citizenship or legal status.

Because the legal and illegal immigrant population is so large and unevenly distributed across the country, it causes...

We believe that a negotiated peaceful settlement is in the best interest of both parties and our nation's interests, especially with all the competing interests around the globe."

Susan Jekarl, a graphic designer from Glendale, was marching against Trump’s immigration crackdown on Sunday when she saw some of her fellow protesters spray-painting storefronts in Little Tokyo.
