Immigrant voters

A group of voters that don not get much publicity are immigrants who are voting for the first time. Even though they were not publicized as much as black voters and young people, they had a very big impact on the outcome of the election. In this election Immigrants voted at a much higher rate then they had in past elections, and they helped decide some of the most important swing states in the election, such as Florida, Virginia, and Ohio. In the past their voting power was very weak, but now that there are many non-white people who have high powers in the American government, a lot more minorities and immigrants are taking part in political decisions. I think that this is important because immigrants are now playing a bigger part in the political process in America
