Immigrant rights activists have vowed to sign up 1 million immigrants — mostly Mexicans — for citizenship and then quickly register them to vote in time to punish Donald Trump and his fellow Republicans at the polls in November for their harsh rhetoric.
The advocates say the new voters could make a difference in the presidential race, where most of the Republican field has tacked to the right in word and policy, and in key Senate races in Illinois and Florida, where Republicans will be reaching to hang on to critical seats.

They don’t have to...they’ll just vote anyway; as they always do.
Well, the states probably have the heavy hand in this. CA is out, but AZ and TX might just be all over it.
This is true.
Only that’s not how citizenship laws work, you can’t just register 1 million people.
in many states you have prove you are a citizen before you can vote...California not so much
Clinton/Gore already did this and got away with it.
*Ahem*
Obama has a phone.
And a pen.
“The entire immigrant and migrant invasion is an attack on our sovereignty. And BOTH political parties support it.”
We are at war folks. And we need to recognize it. I don’t espouse shooting illegal entrants at the border, but I do espouse taking it to the Mexican government and peoples. THEY are responsible. And THEY need to be HELD responsible. And WE need leaders who will ACT on our behalf. I believe we have two candidates who know and understand what I’m talking about. Please, lets make it one of them in office (or both).
The so called BANANA republic of Honduras puts us to shame.
Voting Procedures in Honduras, a Banana Republic———
(a re-write of excellent post by Gideon300)
I had the opportunity to go watch my wife, a citizen of Honduras, vote in last year’s presidential election in Tegucigalpa. It was a real eye-opener, and I can only wish the US had such a strict voting process.
Everyone in Honduras is required to vote only in the precinct as indicated on their government issued (free) photo ID card. Every citizen over 18 is required to have an national ID, and everyone with an ID can vote. No one else, and no one is registered as a member of a certain party, merely a citizen. My wife’s precinct is Barrio El Bosque, so she was required to go to the Escuela de 14 de Julio (local elementary school) if she wanted to vote.
When we arrived at the voting place there were hundreds of people milling around the street and a long line was waiting to enter. The entire scene was closely watched over by Army and PolicÃa Nacionál to make sure order was kept. For the most part everything was quite orderly, and people were polite to each other even with the shoulder-to-shoulder crowd. After showing ID, passing the guard and entering the school we went to the main table in the courtyard where they ran her ID through a computer and she was given a little slip of paper that indicated her name, her precinct, her “mesa†(voting area) and “linea†number (her number on the voter registration list). Every citizen is automatically registered to vote, and their name, Id photo and precinct number is on a list posted in that precinct.
The “mesas†in this case are rooms in the school, numbered in order to handle the hundreds of people waiting to vote. Her mesa was number 8586, so after finding the room, there was a list of all registered voters beside the door. She checked her line number with photo, 235, to make sure she is at the right door, the man watching the door checked her ID against the list, and let her in. She went to the table inside the room
for a ballot, was checked again for ID and compared it to the info and photo in the registry, was given two ballots, one for president and one for congress, and this time they held her ID while she voted. I was allowed in as a foreign observer, but was not on school tables for privacy, so after voting she deposited her ballots in the appropriate boxes, was given her ID back and we left.
I wanted to take photos but no cameras were allowed anywhere but in the street. No alcohol is sold anywhere in Honduras from Saturday through Monday, the day before and the day after election.
They take voter ID, and potential vote fraud, VERY seriously. All ballots are paper, and all have the candidate’s info and photo. There are eight official parties in Honduras, and the one with the most votes wins. The police and the army watch the voting very closely. One woman was caught with an extra ballot, and was immediately arrested. The Honduras news media, which is quite politically unbiased, indicated that both local and official foreign observers found only three cases of vote fraud in the entire country.
It was certainly an eye-opener for me! If this is the difference between a the US and a Banana Republic, then I’ll take a banana republic election anytime.
Correcto!
I can assure you that governor Abbott is all over this. And having previously served as an effective TX AG he is engaged to prevent it at all cost. His wife is Hispanic and very much ALL Texan. Beautiful family.
That deserves repeating.
What else could you call it? What more proof do we need what is going on here?
How true, but Congress has investigative powers (not that they are prone to use them effectively).
And why would we want to share our country with such sneaky, vengeful people?
They are not lying. Not being a citizen does not matter as long as they vote Democrat. More than a few voted in 2008 and 2012.
Enough to steal the election for the Democrat again.
By executive order...
could it happen?
Of course they did. That was my point.
Y’all miss the point. Let’s start at the beginning of the process, these people are/ will be here illegally. If they are not here, fraud cannot be an issue.
He’d better be working on it now, and come out with a YUGE plan that threatens these brats and their organizers. The GOPe knows voter fraud is a big issue and what have they ever done about it?
Yes indeed...that's been the Demorat scheme for decades. Get 'em across the border, get 'em on welfare, and get 'em voting for the Dems who promise them "free" goodies.
