Districts’ migrant numbers sway vote on tough bill
Tagged: border, Mexico, population“Lawmakers who represent districts with fewer undocumented immigrants tended to vote for a tough immigration reform bill last year, while those in districts with large immigrant populations opposed it, a recent study found.
Researchers at the Immigration Policy Center, a Washington, D.C., immigrants’ advocate center, broke down the vote on H.R. 4437, “The Border Protection, Anti-Terrorism, and Illegal Immigration Control Act,” passed by the House of Representatives in December. The bill included the controversial provision for the construction of a 700-mile double fence along the U.S.-Mexico border.”
