As immigration and religion continue to become controversial campaign issues for the 2016 US presidential elections, a recent study showed that Muslims have become the fastest growing bloc of immigrants entering the United States.

Using data from the Census Bureau, the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) found out that over 2.6 million immigrants from nations whose populations are dominated by individuals who follow the Islamic faith moved to America last year.

This number indicates a significant increase from the 2.2 million immigrants from predominantly Muslim countries in 2010.

The figure also ballooned in 2010 since only 1.5 million Muslim immigrants were previously recorded.

According to Pew Research, Muslim Americans are one of the most reliable Democrat voting blocs in the country, with only 11 percent of them identifying themselves as Republican or leaning-Republican, Breitbart News reported.

Politico recently reported that the Obama administration is urging more Muslim green card holders to register in the polls so they can vote in US elections.ADVERTISEMENT
