Thousands of immigrants from across the nation are taking steps to become U.S. citizens in hopes of taking down one man — Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump.

In June 2015, the business mogul called Mexican immigrants “criminals” and “rapists.”

Now, “In places like Colorado, Texas and Florida, we’re seeing thousands and thousands of immigrants who don’t have naturalization yet saying, ‘I want to become naturalized and I want to vote against Donald Trump,’” says Tefere Gebre, the executive vice president of the AFL-CIO.

Citizenship drive organizers in California say they’ve seen a huge spike in interest from people who want to become citizens.

Nearly one million people are expected to apply for naturalization in 2016, according to The New York Times. That’s about 200,000 more people than average in recent years.
