Summary
My op-ed piece looks into the Hispanic representation in Congressional District 4 of Maryland. I look into how under represented the immigrant and Hispanic population is in this district. I examine the reasons as to why they may be under represented and how the district should go about confronting these issues. I first look at the actions of Anthony Brown. How he has been a great advocate for the black community in his district, as he is black. However, there is little evidence he has done anything for immigration reform. His website lacks anything on his stance and his twitter only uses immigration as a means to bash Trump. I then explain that the district is majority black and Wong explains that this correlates with less support for immigrant policy. I look at voter turnout of Hispanics and how they voted. Because their turnout is so low and they vote overwhelmingly democrat, democratic candidates such as Brown can take advantage of the Hispanic vote. I conclude with my opinion where I advocate for immigrants, Hispanics and people who care about the topic of immigration to voice their opinions and maybe consider a different representative for the next election.
