The Democrats' grand strategy of importing more ringers to vote for the Democrats is not exactly a Great Replacement (you're not getting deported, not yet), but it's undeniably a Great Dilution of the value of your vote. That's why the press screeches so loud about a "white nationalist far-right conspiracy theory" whenever a skeptic explains the obvious self-interested electoral logic behind what the Democrats are up to with their immigration policies. What else do they have to say?
On the other hand, when the New York Times lays it out, that's fine, because they are trusted to spin it right.

Immigrants Are Becoming U.S. Citizens at Fastest Clip in Years
The government has reduced a backlog of applications that built up during the Trump administration. New citizens say they are looking forward to voting in November.

An important purple state.

The federal government is processing citizenship requests at the fastest clip in a decade, moving rapidly through a backlog that built up during the Trump administration and the coronavirus pandemic.
At ceremonies in courthouses, convention centers and sports arenas across the country, thousands of immigrants are becoming new Americans every week — and becoming eligible to vote in time for the presidential election this fall.
It's unclear how many of the new voters live in battleground states, but a number of the states where Kamala Harris or Donald Trump must win have large and growing numbers of voting-age naturalized citizens, including Georgia, Arizona, Nevada and Pennsylvania.
In Savannah, Ga., people from 19 countries streamed into a federal courthouse recently to take the oath of allegiance.
"My case was done in less than six months," said Gladis Brown, who is married to an American and emigrated from Honduras in 2018.
Generally, lawful permanent residents, known as green-card holders, are eligible to become naturalized citizens if they have had that status for at least five years, or have been married to a U.S. citizen for at least three years.
Green-card holders have many of the same rights as citizens. But voting in federal elections is a right accorded only to citizens. And that can be a powerful motivation to pursue citizenship, especially when big national elections are on the horizon.
"I'm so glad that the process moved quickly," said Ms. Brown, who was one of the 31 immigrants being sworn in. "People like me want to vote in the election."
After the ceremony, Ms. Brown celebrated with cake and punch from a local women's volunteer group — and by completing a voter-registration form provided by a representative of the League of Women Voters.
Naturalization applications typically spike upward in the approach to an election.
Now, in the 11th paragraph of the article, the NYT begins to vaguely explain what all the rush and hurry is about:...
