Trump Calls for Voter ID: 'Only American Citizens Should Vote in American Elections'

President Donald Trump has made it clear that immigration will be a major campaign issue for him, in both the midterm elections and in his own re-election bid, and that was evident at the president’s rally in Florida on Tuesday.

“Republicans want strong borders and no crime. Democrats want open borders, which equals massive crime,” he said. “And on top of that, the Democrats…they’ve launched outrageous attacks on our incredible law enforcement officers and on ICE and our Border Patrol — can you believe it? People that keep us safe.”

Trump said Democrats, in their pursuit of open borders, also want to let illegal immigrants vote. “It’s crazy,” he said. […]

“We believe that only American citizens should vote in American elections. Which is why the time has come for voter ID, like everything else. Voter ID. You know, if you go out and you want to buy groceries, you need a picture on a card. You need ID. You go out and you want to buy anything, you need ID, and you need your picture. In this country, the only time you don’t need it, in many cases, is when you want to vote for a president, when you want to vote for a senator, when you want to vote for a governor or a congressman. It’s crazy. It’s crazy. But we’re turning it around,” Trump promised.

He received a standing ovation when he called for voter ID. …

I think Trump should make it clear that any non-citizens vote November will be deported after their green cards are revoked if they are legal residents

The gop-e should ram home the need for voter ID and confirmed voter roles as a means to insure the validity of our elections.

[Olog-hai]

Why would the GOP-e do that when they are opposed to it as much as the other half of the Uniparty is?

[Olog-hai]

Remember when they invalidated several military ballots in 2012 by unilaterally declaring them having been received too late?

They need James Woods in PSA's displaying the card and saying "The Russian's Can't Hack THIS!"

I like that!

[KittyKares]

Once we get that straight, then we have to work on detecting and eliminating counterfeit ID cards.

THANK YOU President Trump!

I have been a staunch supporter of Israel since my mid teens, but I completely am opposed to dual citizenship. One or the other. No way ought a person be voting in more than a single Nation.

It is just not right.

[Radix]

Try buying groceries at BJs, Costco, or other warehouse stores without a picture ID.

[Olog-hai]

Ultimately, Israel may agree. But the leftist influence there will have to be defeated, like it must be here.

Ireland also allows dual citizenship, which ironically is now an extension of EU citizenship.

Last week, I was behind a guy who paid for his groceries by check. I can’t remember the last time I saw that happen, let alone the last time I did it myself.

[freedomlover]

I live in a rural area and see people writing checks all the time. Mostly older people.

We are 30 years and 30 million people into a bipartisan policy of non-enforcement of laws and borders with the purpose of forever changing the United States of America.

We actually quit enforcing immigration after Ike shut down Operation Wetback.

There are 55 posts when I typed this.

I'm very surprised none of the "Mark of the Beast," or "Your papers please," folks have posted.

10 and/or 20 years ago any suggestion of a National ID would have caused a days long argument here on FR.

[P-Marlowe]

Dems apparently think that “ people of color” are too stupid to figure out how to get a photo ID. They are the racists. Always have been. Always will be.

[taxcontrol]

He can be president and no, that is not the definition of naturally born. Further, the US only recognizes US law regarding citizenship. You are a US citizen by US law and that law clearly states that there are only two types of citizens. Naturalized or born a citizen.
