"Illegal Immigrants"? Only one per year...

"Undocumented Workers"? Well, that's another story... Ahem.

"This seems to be a statement that not only do we want to disenfranchise non-citizens, but we also want to send a chill throughout the community. It's not a very friendly message," said Jamin Raskin, a constitutional law professor at American University in Washington, D.C

How do idiots like this get to call themselves professors of Constitutional Law? Hey, Prof! You can't disenfranchise non-citizens. They don't have the franchise to begin with. And if that sends a chill, unfriendly message to the illegal community that they aren't wanted here ... GOOD!

Voter fraud involving illegal immigrants is rare, with only a handful of people in recent years being prosecuted locally for such fraud, according to election officials.

How does the fact that few have been prosecuted get them to the idea that it is rare? To me all that says is that few have been prosecuted. It does not speak to the numbers of people doing it.

Legal aliens without citizenship may also be attempting to vote. Their risk of getting caught is negligible, so it is quite reasonable to expect that some do vote. The numbers simply cannot be determined until we require proof of citizenship.

I take it that the operative word in this propaganda piece would be
"being prosecuted"!!

It's rare but Democrats want it to be safe and legal, too.

signed Loretta Sanchez

Loretta was crowned queen by illegal alien voting, then all of a sudden her sister got elected too. Coincidence? Welcome to Mexifornia.

If you don't look frequently you won't notice that your lawn grows every day. The same goes for vote fraud. Frequent inspection is needed.

from the background......."but our budget doesn't permit frequent inspection ......... "

The system is basically set up to run on the honor system, and I don't think it works

try running anything on the honor system in Mexico, the officials should know better than that
