In 2015, California Governor Jerry Brown signed a bill giving full voting rights to illegal aliens.

That is simply untrue. California passed no such law. If you click on the link in the original article, it takes you to a report on a California law allowing illegals to get driver's licenses, not to vote.

I'm sure some illegals vote in California; I'm sure some illegals vote in every state. But it is certainly not authorized by California law.

The devil is in the details...

"Any person who renewed or secured a driver’s license through the DMV may now register to vote, or choose to opt out of doing so. Because illegal immigrants are now eligible for obtaining driver’s licenses, they could be allowed to vote in elections if the Secretary of State’s office fails to verify their eligibility properly.

Brown and the California Democratic party know exactly what they are doing; as a Public Policy Institute survey showed, among unregistered adults, 49% lean toward the Democratic Party and 22% toward the Republican Party. Any bill permitting illegal immigrants to vote would cement the Democratic Party’s hold on California."
