Recent immigrants don’t vote. You can’t just immigrate and suddenly become a citizen.

That’s an extremely broad group to generalize, but also second-generation Americans are not immigrants, let alone recent immigrants. Don’t call people who were born in America immigrants. That’s not what the word means.

2nd gen depending on how you define it is still very much apart of the recent immigrants community. Some ppl define 2nd Gen was ppl born in the USA but their parents were not.

Do you know what “immigrant” means? Use another word. People born in America cannot be immigrants in America.

Identifying with “the immigrant community” (whatever that means, when immigrants come from literally everywhere and ascribe to wildly different worldviews) doesn’t make one an immigrant.

Seriously, just use another word then, one that doesn’t imply people are outsiders in their birth country.
