"...While not taking a position on the legislation, Callanan warned that any law that required that people present ID at the polling place might actually discourage people from voting.

"It will be cumbersome to have them presented at the polls," she said. "The lines will be longer. It will require an additional check."

Some Democrats in the Legislature have fought the proposal, saying it would keep the poor and minorities, who generally vote Democratic, away from the polls. A key Democratic Senator and Dewhurst got into an argument on the floor of the Senate over the emotional issue..."

Anyone wonder why the dems are wanting the 'fairness' doctrine? You won't see this in the MSM; only on local AM radio.

How do they KNOW illegals registered?
Who allowed the illegals to register and why is it just now coming out? Who blew the whistle?

Who allowed illegals to vote?
Who blew the whistle about that?
If they KNOW illegals registered, do they know WHO the illegals are? IF they don’t know who they are, how do they know they are illegal? If they DO know who they are, why aren’t they trying to arrest them? What is the punishment for registering to vote if you are an illegal alien?

Isn’t it illegal to vote when you are not a citizen? Wait, I forgot, they are already breaking the law by being here illegally and are not being punished for that. What harm will illegal voting do?

This is total bullshit - I’ve lived in four different counties in Texas and have always been required to show proof of who I am before voting.

but she says a new form of voter registration card, which requires people to swear they are citizens when they register, should help cut the problem, because people who vote illegally can be charged with perjury.

Gosh, I'll bet they're trembling in fear of that. How about charging them with voter fraud, counterfeitting, bearing forged documents, trespassing, tax fraud, and identity theft?

Oh, and ENTERING THE COUNTRY FRIGGIN ILLEGALLY!!!

F em all. Send every one of them back to the farms.

That a Republican would even sit down and negotiate our security like they were buying a car or something, is reprehensible.

I don't buy that crap that Kyl said...""All of you know that in the legislative process, no one gets 100 percent of what they want, if you're going to get something done"... not when it comes to National Security and the future health of our Country.

This ain't yer pork spending bill here, Mr. Kyl., or is it?

:O)

They’ve already taken over San Antonio anyway.....their news is mostly about carjacking, robbery, home invasion, murder, attempted murder, drug busts, stabbings, beatings, shooting, kidnapping, rape, DWI accidents killing innocent people...you name it.

Our country is going to hell in a handbasket and the politicians we sent to Washington to represent us are all a bunch of horses asses. Actually a horses ass is better now that I think about it. We don’t have to worry about terrorist attacks, we’re being dismantled from within by hoodlums and law breakers.

I’m sorry my children and grandchildren will be faced with such a dire problem that will be even worse in the very near future with no turning back.

Bexar County Elections Administrator Jackie Callanan confirmed the figures, but she says a new form of voter registration card, which requires people to swear they are citizens when they register, should help cut the problem, because people who vote illegally can be charged with perjury.

Yeah... THIS'LL help!!!

Charged with perjury...

How about charged with about 1000 volts and send BACK over the border twitching???
