bs....but doesn’t mean they don’t get away with it...
Per the article:
“18 U.S. Code § 611 – Voting by aliens
(a) It shall be unlawful for any alien to vote in any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing a candidate for the office of President, Vice President, Presidential elector, Member of the Senate, Member of the House of Representatives, Delegate from the District of Columbia, or Resident Commissioner, unless—
(1) the election is held partly for some other purpose;
(2) aliens are authorized to vote for such other purpose under a State constitution or statute or a local ordinance; and
(3) voting for such other purpose is conducted independently of voting for a candidate for such Federal offices, in such a manner that an alien has the opportunity to vote for such other purpose, but not an opportunity to vote for a candidate for any one or more of such Federal offices.
(b) Any person who violates this section shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than one year, or both.
(c) Subsection (a) does not apply to an alien if—
(1) each natural parent of the alien (or, in the case of an adopted alien, each adoptive parent of the alien) is or was a citizen (whether by birth or naturalization);
(2) the alien permanently resided in the United States prior to attaining the age of 16; and
(3) the alien reasonably believed at the time of voting in violation of such subsection that he or she was a citizen of the United States.
At first as one reads this code, specifically subsection (c), (1), (2), (3) – it looks like this is a complete farce, no one can just claim themselves to be a citizen of the U.S. when they in fact are not, and then vote – don’t be ridiculous, right?
In order for illegals to vote (illegals are allowed to legally vote in some local elections) in federal elections, some prerequisites must first be met:
First, the illegal’s parents must have been U.S. citizens, BUT – said parents can also be FORMER U.S. citizens. Now why did Congress include that nice little loophole do you suppose? This also applies to adoptive parents as well.
Second, the illegal must have resided in the U.S. before attaining the age of 16.
Let me put this into perspective. All the above, the parental requirements and residency – this can all be faked quite easily. Forge a few documents, and simply state that you BELIEVE that you are a U.S. citizen (After all, illegals have rights you know), and you (the illegal) can vote in a federal election.
Let’s be serious here – WHO is going to investigate whether or not these claims are true? Who is going to be willing to spend that kind of time and money? Answer – NO ONE.”
What are the odds that an illegal caught voting in a blue state will be prosecuted? Zip, zero, nada.

Perhaps illegals are smart enough to see that it’s to their advantage to close the border. Doing so immediately would mean fewer swimmers in their labor pool.
It’s time for the American people to sue the asses off those turd rollers up on Capitol Hill. This is OUR government, NOT THEIRS! Screw the Feral “judges” and their kangaroo courts.

Note that Google incredibly reports, "can aliens vote for President" "did not match any documents." Without quotes the consensus that the number of voting by non-citzens is so low as to make no difference, though the Left firms opposes making this difficult.
The liberal AP states:
To be clear, there have been cases of noncitizens casting ballots, but they are extremely rare... Johnson tried to address this, saying that “we cannot wait for widespread fraud to occur.” But one prior crackdown on purported noncitizen voting also risked striking thousands of actual citizens from the voting rolls....Johnson vowed to introduce legislation requiring proof of citizenship before allowing someone to register to vote, but he provided no further details. It’s likely that such legislation wouldn’t make it out of the Democratic-controlled Senate, and its main impact would be to use it as a talking point against Democrats during the campaign. - https://apnews.com/article/trump-immigrant-voting-noncitizens-elections-explained-cf4c73b336147b5f5d9c2a22b2564994
I know for a fact Oregon registers non citizens to vote through “motor voter.”
There will be a day when citizens of other countries can vote in U.S. elections remotely, without the need to physically be present in the country.
