"When you come from countries where this is fear of speaking out against the government, it would be a real shame to waste off the opportunities that the U.S. affords you through voting."

"People say they want to feel American, and one of the ways they do that is by voting."

"The immigrant voter is very invested in the voting process because it means so much to them. They feel it makes a difference and are more likely to vote compared to many native-born Americans."

"Naturalized citizens are energized, a genuine joy, through voting. They take it very seriously. It's often the first time they've voted in their lifetimes, and they instill that in their kids."
