Biden Administration Encourages Voter Registration Among Newly Naturalized Citizens
The Biden administration has initiated efforts to promote voter registration among newly naturalized citizens, citing a desire to engage citizens in the democratic process. It is noteworthy that historical data indicates a tendency for new immigrants to lean towards Democratic voting patterns.
Initiative Details: A recent directive from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has instructed its employees to raise awareness about voter registration during naturalization ceremonies. The policy further recommends the involvement of state and local officials in the collection, distribution, and review of voter registration applications.
Motivation and Statistics: Citing data from Pew Research, the administration points out that immigrants in various states have shown a preference for Democratic affiliations. A study conducted in 2012, involving 2,900 foreign-born naturalized immigrants, revealed the following breakdown:
– 62% identified as Democrats
– 25% identified as Republicans
Context: This approach aligns with Executive Order 14019, issued by President Biden in 2021. The order aimed to enhance voter registration and participation through federal agencies. Interestingly, some groups have encountered challenges in obtaining transparent information about the implementation of this executive order, prompting questions about its execution and intentions.
