Obama made a statement on immigration policy after the presidential election. He declared, "The increase in Hispanic voter empowerment and political participation will bring powerful benefits to the United States. I am convinced that those living in the United States should have a way to obtain legal status." This statement, as well as the successive promotion of immigration reform by the House of Representatives and the Senate, gave hope to illegal immigrants.

In areas where illegal immigrants gather across the United States, such as Eastern Washington State and Spokane, the number of immigrants is bound to increase significantly.

The Examiner website reported on the 29th that due to the increase in illegal immigrants smuggling into the country, smuggling fees have soared. Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who is known for his opposition to illegal immigration, recently arrested ten illegal immigrants who smuggled themselves into the country from Mexico. Each of them paid a smuggling fee of 4,000 yuan. This number is quite striking. Compared with stowaways from Other Than Mexico (OTM), Mexican stowaways pay the cheapest fees, and OTM stowaway fees can easily reach tens of thousands.

Illegal immigrants, especially Hispanics, tend to support the welfare policies of liberal members of Congress and draw their relatives and fellow citizens to the Democratic Party. In the 2012 presidential election, Obama won nearly 70% of the votes of Hispanic voters. In addition to the strong appeal of "European Health Insurance" to Hispanic voters, Obama advocated granting some form of "amnesty" to illegal immigrants, which made Hispanic voters and illegal immigrants have considerable expectations for Obama.
