This Week in Immigration

In this week’s episode, BPC Senior Advisor Theresa Cardinal Brown delves into history and reality of how immigrants vote in the United States. Theresa is joined by Rachel Orey, Director of the Bipartisan Policy Center Elections Project, to discuss current legislation that defines the eligibility for voting and protects against non-citizen voting. Then, Theresa welcomes Irene Bloemraad, Professor at the University of British Columbia and Co-director of the Centre for Migration Studies, to dive into history of different immigrant groups to the United States and how they exercise their voting rights when they become citizens.
