Her argument is too simplistic, to put it simply.

What nth-gen Asian immigrants vote for probably has zero correlation with their Asian background, but more to do with their education, social economic status, and etc.

I want to immigrate to the US, and I’m Chinese, so I do have a conflict of interest.

If you are disappointed about a particular demographic’s voting pattern, why not try doing outreach harder?

Most 1st-gen immigrants love the country, deeply, and probably vote R more than D.

Why would you blame the current system’s failure to address the poor segment of the existing population on immigrants? It feels like impulsive scape-goating.
