Top Democrats House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer have sparked backlash after demanding that taxpayer dollars not be used for immigration enforcement operations near "sensitive locations," including polling places.
Which, of course, begs the question: Why would there be elevated concerns about the presence of illegal aliens at polling places?
Democrats' DHS Demands Spark Outrage: Why Shield Polling Places from ICE Enforcement?
Jeffries (NY-8) and Schumer (D-NY) sent a letter to Republican leadership on Wednesday, demanding reforms to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) immigration enforcement as part of ongoing funding negotiations. Their list of demands includes a key provision prohibiting the use of funds for enforcement operations near "sensitive locations."
One such location raised eyebrows immediately.
"Prohibit funds from being used to conduct enforcement near sensitive locations, including medical facilities, schools, child-care facilities, churches, polling places, courts, etc.," the letter reads.
Wait, suddenly Democrats are opposed to people storming churches and creating chaos for worshippers again? That's rich. Anyway ...
Senator Katie Britt (R-AL), who is leading the charge for Republicans on the Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee, fired back sharply at Schumer and Jeffries, questioning why illegal aliens would need such special protections at voting sites.
She is demanding that DHS be fully funded. Britt also demanded passage of the SAVE (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility) Act. The Act is designed to safeguard elections by ensuring only American citizens vote in federal elections.
There seems to be a theme here. RedState's Sister Toldjah reported last week on efforts by Democrats in Virginia to implement similar protections for illegal immigrants at polling locations.
A new bill, HB 1442, seeks to prohibit "any person from performing any act for the purpose or in furtherance of enforcement of federal immigration laws within 40 feet of any building, or part thereof, used as a polling place."
Even better, they want to keep law enforcement from enforcing immigration laws at "a meeting place for the local electoral board while the electoral board meets to ascertain the results of an election, or the place for a recount."
Why would Democrats be adamantly against immigration enforcement at polling places and/or anywhere that election results are being tabulated? Why would illegals be sauntering around within 40 feet of a polling place to begin with? Those, as you might imagine, are rhetorical questions.
Schumer recently declared the SAVE Act, passed by the House of Representatives in April 2025 and currently pending in the Senate, to be racist. He insists it is "dead on arrival."
Republicans want to protect American elections from illegals, while Democrats will do anything to make sure illegals are protected at a ballot box they shouldn't be anywhere near.
As Sister Toldjah wrote: "Democrats are again showing us exactly who they are, and we should believe them."

The democrats, the catholic church and the merchant class- they sure love themselves some illegals. The rest of us, not so much.
They love illegals
They hate Voter ID
Weird
Schumer and Jeffries are committing treason by giving aid to our enemies.
Nice to see a SENATOR ask the same question of Democrats that us Right Wing Extremists have been asking for DECADES.
Maybe some of them get it?
It’s a party requirement Bolsheviks united.
Their argument will be that naturalized citizens, especially those who are non-white and speak with a foreign accent will be frightened of being questioned and improperly detained, and might even be improperly detained and prevented from voting .
Rant:
Enabling their insurrection, their fraud, and their relentless grasp for power.
This is beyond lefties ‘peacefully protesting’. Stories demonstrating how they’re organized, actions coordinated, use of violence, fraud, and alignment with socialist or communist ideology tell us all we need to know. And the word insurrection applies.
President Trump cannot fix this by himself. The ball-less Republicans in the House and Senate refuse to show any leadership, hardly any care whatsoever. Billions of democrat fraud? I can hear their collective yawn all the way down here in Texas. Antifa and other global leftists coordinating violence in U.S. States? Elections manipulated by foreign and domestic enemies? Hello! Is this thing on? Can anyone hear us? It has to stop.
I pray it doesn’t take a Pearl Harbor or 9/11 event from the socialist Left to make GOP legislators testicles finally descend, to wake them up and remember that we didn’t get to 250 years by being passive about this great country. That strong, proud Americans fought for it, bled for it, died for it. The Legislative branch is insulting those patriots with their inaction.
Do the Democrats think the American population is so dumb that they can’t see through this smokescreen? Evidently, yes.
Dems are doing all they can to garner money and voters. They need votes no matter what it takes or moral standards. Dems will say or do anything to acquire money to the point of participating in fraud; Minneapolis is a good example.
I just read the title, not the whole article. But that question is pretty easy to answer...lol.
The first thing these clowns will do is provide amnesty to all illegals, and make them citizens cart Blanc.
The fact Joe Biden claimed to have received over 81 million votes in 2020, after the highest any prior Democrat in recent years got 67 million (Barack Obama 2008) tell you all you need to know.
“...and might even be improperly detained and prevented from voting .”
_________________________________________
If they have proof of their citizenship, how could this happen with any consistency? This would be the question that should be posed to any idiot, Left-wing lawyers who push this line of argument.
The Democrats need 90% of the vote from blacks and illegals to win. Often these votes are “harvested” meaning the voter isn’t informed and isn’t actually voting in person - doesn’t say much for the Democrat “ideas” winning the day.
The answer is simple: they hate Trump and Trump’s successes so much that they support murderers, rapists, and child molesters ahead of being on the same side of an issue with Trump.
Their actions are driven by pure hate.
This bit on polling places is all misdirection. Illegals “vote” via mailin ballots collected by DNC and filled out on their behalf.
Why is a GOP senator “demanding answers”?
Retarded children know the answer.
TOTAL COVER UP CRAP
Thune is a demoncrap now?
