Voting in these countries takes place largely along ethnic lines. Go look at maps of "if only X demographic voted", there is a clear incentive for certain parties to import people just because changing the ethnic makeup of the country will give them political power (immigrants have kids who are citizens and will vote along their ethnic lines). Additionally there are efforts to naturalize refugees and illegals: Chuck Schumer: "We have a population that is not reproducing on its own with the same level that it used to. The only way we’re going to have a great future in America is if we welcome and embrace immigrants – the Dreamers and all of them, because our ultimate goal is to help the Dreamers but [also] to get a path to citizenship for all 11 million or however many undocumented there are here" "Path to citizenship" here implies that he wants them to be able to vote. | ||
