Deadlock on immigration may boost Nev. Latino vote
By Alexander S. Corey and Ben Botkin, Las Vegas Review-Journal
The U.S. Supreme Court’s deadlock in a major immigration case Thursday adds another dimension to an already hot election cycle.
The question: Will the court’s nondecision — which continues to prohibit thousands of undocumented Nevadans from receiving work permits — galvanize Latino voters angered by it?
Some believe that the Supreme Court tie — coupled with presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s controversial statements on Mexican immigrants — could boost Latino turnout rates in the general election.
