Today immigrant advocates will announce a campaign to transform the passion of the millions of people who took to the streets this spring into election-changing votes in the fall. The We Are America Alliance will release its state-by-state report detailing the numbers of immigrants eligible to become new voters and the potential impact they could have on key races in November.

Nationwide, the number of immigrants who are registering to become citizens has risen 15 percent and Johnny Simancas, the executive director of United Hispanics of Virginia, estimates that his organization has registered 20 percent more than last year.
