Between 1990 and 2000, immigration to the United States increased greatly. The immigrant population increased by 11.3 million to 31.1 million in that decade, according to U.S. Census data. Many children born to those immigrants are now or will be 18 – the age Americans are eligible to vote. Any child born in the United States is a U.S. citizen, even if their parent is not in the country legally. They can vote when they reach 18, according to the U.S. Constitution. The effect of that wave of immigration in the United States is significant. For one, more immigrants will be able to vote in 2016 than previous U.S. presidential elections. For another, how immigration policy will be shaped is central to the 2016 presidential race.

Front-running Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has focused his campaign on harsh speeches about immigrants. He proposes building a wall along the U.S.-Mexican border to keep illegal immigrants out. He proposes deporting the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants, though he says he would allow many to return. In 2013, close to 47 percent of immigrants (19.3 million) were naturalized U.S. citizens, according to the Migration Policy Institute. The remaining 53 percent (22.1 million) included legal permanent residents, unauthorized immigrants, and legal residents on temporary visas, such as students and temporary workers, the institute says.
