20 Congressional Races to watch that could impact the immigration "balance of power"










With Election Day just a few days away, it's a good time to take a look at some of the races NumbersUSA has been monitoring and will watch closely on election night.



With most of the focus on the Presidential race, there hasn't been as much coverage of the Congressional races, but here are 20 races that could have an impact on the immigration "balance of power" in the House and Senate.



What's at stake?



Redistricting has caused close races for the chairman of the Immigration Reform Caucus, the likely chairman of the House Immigration Subcommittee, and a few long-time Members who have earned True Reformer status. Also, an incumbent Senator with one of the highest career grades in Congress faces a tough challenge from a well-known Congresswoman.
