Last year, U.S. President Obama won the support of the majority of Hispanic voters, with a Hispanic turnout of nearly 71%. After the Republican Party's disastrous defeat, there may be changes to immigration reform. Earlier, both sides of the bipartisan committee announced a draft reform plan that could bring more than 11 million illegal immigrants out of the shadow of undocumentation. New York Senator Chuck Schumer said the eight-member group has proposed comprehensive immigration reform legislation that it hopes will pass the Senate overwhelmingly.

Arizona Senator John McCain said: "I hope the House agrees to pass that people who are in the United States illegally will have to pay taxes and pay to convert citizenship, which will not cost taxpayers money." However, immigration reform remains very controversial this year, and Texas Senator Ted Cruz said he is deeply concerned about the path to citizenship proposed by the legislation. He pointed out that in order to allow those undocumented residents who came to the United States illegally to obtain legal status, it is not consistent with the rule of law and the law, and it is extremely unfair for millions of legal immigrants to wait for many years to change status.
