In the House, only 39 of the 233 members represent districts that are 20% or
more Hispanic, according to a recent study in the Georgetown (University)
Public Policy Review.
233名house议员中,只有39位议员的选区有超过20%的西裔人口。可见大部分众议员在
自己的选区没有西裔选民的压力。反过来讲,非西裔族群对CIR的态度不见得支持,甚
至反对。大部分议员面临选区压力,对CIR态度强硬也就在情理之中了。
这件事要怪也只能西裔人口太喜欢集中,没有均匀分配到美国的各州各郡,所以得不到
广泛的众议院支持。

House Republicans are far from convinced by arguments from party leaders
that passage of the bill would help Republicans draw support from Hispanic
voters. Many also believe any kind of amnesty for the estimated 11 million
immigrants who are in the United States illegally is just plain wrong.
很多house议员不相信通过CIR能带来西裔选票。他们认为只要是大赦就是错误的。
