Ciudadanía Americana and the Hispanic Vote Bank

The Hispanics are one of the major immigrant groups in America. Spanish is a language as common as if not more common than English today. It is no wonder that the phrase 'Ciudadanía Americana' is being heard more and more often these days. The Hispanics are a major vote bank and both the Democrats and the Republicans are trying to woo them.

Europeans seeking US citizenship does not seem to attract as much interest as the Spanish speaking population seems to be doing. Republicans were talking about constructing walls along the Mexican border and increasing patrols to prevent illegal immigration and a lot of new immigration laws have affected Hispanics specifically. But today, the same Republicans have realized that alienating the Hispanic vote bank is not in their best interests.
