Trump fuels citizenship drive among immigrants

Boston Calling

Available for over a year

This year's US presidential race has sparked unprecedented interest among Latino immigrants across the country. But interest and actually voting are two different things. You see, immigrants who hold residency status but are not US citizens cannot vote. So, an increasing number of Latino immigrants have been applying for American citizenship - just so they can vote against a certain Republican candidate. Jean Guerrero reports from the California city of San Diego.
