Here’s another thing to consider: should the Republicans proceed with the Congressional redistriction/election college tomfoolery they’ve been exploring, they might as well write off the immigrant vote forever.

For example, it’s been reported that had that redistricting plan gone into effect in Virginia for 2012, Obama would have lost the electoral vote count 9-4 despite winning the popular vote by a 51-47% margin.

Maybe I’m wrong, but I think if I were an immigrant, the message I’d take from that would be your vote does not matter.
