News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Fri. Oct. 7, 2016: This is possibly the most critical election of most of our lifetime. Any immigrant not voting, or missing this opportunity to vote could mean handing a tax cheat, a sexist pig, a demagogue, a xenophobe and an ignoramus the chance to set this country back decades.
And while the countdown is on to November 8, 2016 and the US’ 58th Presidential Election, there is still a small window left to register to vote if you haven’t done so already.
