Immigrants running for office in native lands
The Associated Press reported this week about an increasing number of immigrants in the United States running for office in their native countries.
An excerpt:
“Immigration experts say a growing number of migrants, who have toiled in the United States as laborers, janitors and car mechanics, are being recruited to run for office in their homelands. Their working-class immigrant stories resonate in Latin America where many residents have family members in the United States, many of whom send home financial support.”
