Immigrant populations have more family and friends in other countries. Consequently, they are more likely to learn about environmental crimes committed outside our nation's borders. Since many of those crimes are the responsibility of multinationals enabled by American coddling, it's natural for immigrants to be skeptical about the notion that pro-corporate environmental policies will actually benefit anyone other than the corporations themselves - a notion touted by Republicans.
