This is a follow-up to the story of Hispanics in Orange County having received a supposed voter suppression letter.
In this post I'm going to:
[...]
...Here's another excerpt from the letter [6]; see if you can spot a rather curious phrase:
"Be advised that the government of the United States is installing a new computer system to verify the names of all registered voters ... Anti-immigration organization can ask for information from this new computer system."
Which groups use the phrase "anti-immigration"? Almost all groups that are opposed to illegal immigration are very careful about making the distinction between legal and illegal immigration, and take offense at the use of such phrases. In fact, the ones who almost always try to use similar phrases are the MSM and those who support illegal immigration. Even if the writer did not have a full grasp of colloquial Spanish or did a machine translation, they would have had to exclude the "illegal" part of that phrase to begin with. While there's certainly the possibility that the letter came from someone who is opposed to all forms of immigration, the use of the same phrase that supporters of illegal immigration use is very strong evidence that the letter was a joe job...

Voting
One of the most important privileges of democracy in the United States of America is the right to participate in choosing elected officials through voting. As a Permanent Resident you can only vote in local and state elections that do not require you to be a US citizen. It is very important that you do not vote in national, state or local elections that require a voter to be a US citizen when you are not a US citizen. There are criminal penalties for voting when you are not a US citizen and it is a requirement for voting. You can be removed (deported) from the US if you vote in elections limited to US citizens.
I've been very involved in politics locally both before I took the Oath of Citizenship and still am.
Arnold did what he had to do politically, although it remains to be seen if this is a 'hate crime'. I have not seen the full text of the original letter.
The SAME accusation was made in florida!
It is a FELONY for an illegal alien to vote in the USA.
A FELONY will preclude citizenship applications, green cards etc.
While it may help the democrats, it destroys the life of the useful idiot illegal who votes.
ONLY CITIZENS MAY VOTE IN ELECTIONS.
Where is the Ad Counsel PSA for that?
I'll be protest-voting for Art Olivier. As a search at my site will reveal, I've been an Arnold supporter for a few years, but his "moderate" moves on illegal immigration together with collaborating with reconquistas like Fabian Nunez go too far.
The letter is here:

Arnold definitely did what he had to do... in part. What he should have also done is leave open the possibility that this was a smear. He should have said that we don't have all the facts yet.
Instead, what he did is act just like Loretta Sanchez et al would like him to act.
