Of course it will help with voter fraud.
A family member came to my (battleground) state to work for the zero campaign. They made it mandatory that the workers go door to door and got a verbal yes/no if the person was going to vote. My suspicion? The campaign filled out absentee votes (marked for zero) for all those who told the workers they weren’t planning on voting.
I think they have a recruiting office in Oaxaca.
Yes! Why should somebody actually have to be physically present on U.S. soil to receive social benefits and be protected by our Constitutional rights. Seriously, this is the next logical step, once we've legitimized criminal immigration. Why force people to actually come here?
What could go wrong? No “D”, no healthcare for YOU!
You have just described the ideologue of the community organizer in chief.
With all the reports out there about what a fustercluck of a train wreck this is going to be, Obama may want to think twice about attaching new voter registrations to it.
