移民的声音使民主更强大

A thriving democracy depends on the inclusion of immigrant voices and perspectives at every level. One in three American voters is Black, Latino, or Asian, yet fewer than 2 percent of local and state offices are held by Asian Americans or Latinos. Even a handful of votes can determine an election, as seen when a city council seat in San Jose was won by just 12 votes. When immigrants win seats at the table, they bring fresh ideas, courage, and a deep love for their adopted home.
