GOP Sen. Jeff Sessions has pushed to reduce the number of legal residents allowed into the U.S.

Most of those green card holders are already on a path to becoming citizens and voters, and their politics skew Democratic.

The White House’s “Stand Stronger” initiative, announced last week, aims to remove barriers for permanent residents to apply for full citizenship, including the right to vote. The White House and its partners are planning 70 outreach events in the first week alone, as well as 200 naturalization ceremonies that will induct 36,000 new citizens over the same period.
