As the House of Representatives considers an overhaul of immigration laws, it is clear that the members represent very different slices of the country, depending on their political party. Districts represented by Democrats are, together, only slightly more than half white and nearly one quarter Hispanic. Republican districts are roughly three-quarters white, and only one in nine residents is Hispanic.
