He only did that because Eaker turned you in!

So what! My oldest kid hasn't resided in the state in six years.....Still gets summoned for jury duty and still gets a voter ballot.

The clerk/recorder in Santa Barbara County seems to be clueless.

Ah,it was so peaceful.......

Hey, he violated your 24th amendment rights (poll tax). One can buy a stamp only from the US post office; therefore, any money spent on stamps is purely a tax on the mails, and by extension, on your right to vote.

You may have a point.
OK, I'll confess.. I ran the envelope through the postage machine at work.

So he violated the company's rights. In effect.

And they are based in Germany and opposed the war-on-terror so I'm happy all the way around.

Granted, my logic is skewed but so am I.

I found this website on www.theterryAndersonsow.com

It looks like a gathering place so people all over the country can attend meetings and be active just about anywhere against illegal immigration.

I already did. See post 17. A few dozen illegal votes is insignificant in one of the largest counties in the nation.

The fact that we go to the trouble to search the the voters' rolls for illegal voters and prosecute them instead of just whining about sealing the borders is the lesson one should draw from this article.

People voting illegally is a local crime problem, not an immigration problem. Treat it as a crime problem and it can be solved. Treat it as an immigration problem and it will just get worse.

Like the rest of the illegal alien enthusiasts, you are deluding yourself if you think the extent of your problem is "...a few dozen illegal votes..." And no matter how small the quantity, no illegal vote is insignificant. Races can be won or lost because of a very few votes.

Given Houston's willingness to become "Little Mexico", one must doubt how much zeal will be applied in searching for illegal votes. Probably not much. That's the way this illegal alien thing works. Even in Houston.

Illegal voting is of course a crime. Treating it as exclusively a crime problem, as you advocate, would be to ignore the root cause of much of it--illegal aliens. While the open borders/amnesty gang would prefer that approach, it isn't going to wash with the rest of us--"us" meaning those people that still believe strongly in national sovereignty. And we're in the majority--by far.

New poll up!

Do you believe the Bush Administration should inform Mexico's interior secretary that there is no 'right' for Mexican citizens to work in the United States?

Yes 96% 2204 votes

No 4% 98 votes

Total: 2302 votes
