Question

In recent years, political candidates from Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and elsewhere have come to the United States to seek votes from migrants from those countries who have migrated to the United States.

In the terms used in the text, this signals the emergence of _____________.

A. a transborder state
B. transnational nation-state
C. nation-state
D. none of these

Answer 1

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Transborder agglomeration is a mass collection of urban towns and cities or an extended urban area which consists of several towns merging with the suburbs of a central city. This comes into place when a region comprising a number or cities, large towns and other urban areas have merged to form one continuous urban or industrially developed area through population growth and physical expansion.

The North American continent is a good example of such.

Transborder states are citizens of another state who claim their descendants remain part of their ancestral state. In nations like the Dominican Republic, emigrants that have become citizens of another country are expected to vote in the Dominican elections.

Answer 2

A - A transborder state.

Step-by-step explanation:

A transborder state is formed by people (and their descendants) who left their birth state and now reside in another state, but still remain part of said ancestral state.

Like the exercise describes, many politicians seek votes in the US even if they are from other countries. This is because, even if those citizens left their country, they may still vote for their birth ones.
