  Where does the Latinx community stand when it comes to voting? Latinxs do not engage in politics for many reasons. In 2020 Latinxs were predicted to impact the 2020 presidential election significantly. During the election campaigns, some political campaigns in the state of Nevada turned to Latinxs with the goal of obtaining their vote.

There are many reasons why Latinxs are not active in politics, like, language barriers, lack of information, lack of resources, and citizenship status.

Why does USCIS have time to post tweets but are taking so long with their procedures? The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services is making citizens mad and impatient because their process for any service is taking longer than usual. When the pandemic started, USCIS fell behind with accomplishing its applications. Over 200,00 Green cards have been wasted over the past few years because of the pandemic delay. USCIS has millions of cases that were stopped, and people do not like the idea. USCIS is very active on social media platforms, especially Twitter; people are complaining about this.
