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. …

He publicly renounced his Canadian citizenship and is therefore, under the laws of Canada, no longer Canadian.

He has yet to prove he is a Naturalized Citizen though. As a Canadian he would have several legal requirements to become a Citizen, but who cares, right?

There is no way to control dual citizenship. Drop that as a condition to anything. Other countries deserve the same autonomy we wish for ourselves. And a country has the right to grant citizenship as THAT COUNTRY WISHES. So you can’t punish American citizens who are handed citizenship elsewhere.

Illegals get a driver’s license with what proof?

In California they just pay Tonia at the DMV and get a bonified legal Driving License.

The Democrat party is not too democratic. Most of the Democrat party leaders and politicians are willing to lie, cheat, and steal to win at all costs. Some are even willing to murder to get or hold onto power.

They would gladly throw away all military ballots since soldiers lean heavily Republican.

Is the voter ID to be a national ID, that is part of that RealID?

I’ve had a voter ID card for decades, albeit not one with a photo.

No one in a foreign land claiming foreign citizenship should be voting in US elections.

With Ted Cruz, as I understand it, it’s almost a semantic thing with his citizenship. It’s just a little off-putting that he didn’t actually appear as American on paper until he was 16. It’s ok for a Senator, but it’s a little creepy for a President. He entered the country as a Canadian, never became American until he was 16, though he was eligible for citizenship at birth. I also gave birth in another country and my baby had that USA birth certificate within a couple weeks.

But, then again, we had a President for 8 years who was and still is not a lawful citizen. His claim to citizenship was his ceremonial passport while serving as a US Senator, and thereafter the Passport office was tampered with to hide the fact that his pass was never based on a legitimate document. So it’s all good.

Needs to be required to get absentee ballots also.

Absentee ballots should be outlawed period. They were developed for the Military and if they actually get to vote they are rarely ever counted. Absentee ballots like voting machines were designed to make vote fraud easier.

Oregon has 100% mail in ballots, how can you know if they tabulate your vote or if your vote even makes it to the tabulators?

He won’t be President.
Too many of us know that natural born citizens are not born in Canada to foreign nationals.

My drivers license has no photo on it, which is not needed here in Tennessee when you are 60 years old or older. The original drivers licenses didn't have them either. I made my original Tennessee DL here in Clarksville on October 14, 1967 when I was over 25years old and my husband was on his first tour in Vietnam. He tried to teach me in Germany but called me stupid because I get the shift thing.

Anyway when I visited my daughter and her family in Amarillo, from Nashville in 2009 I showed first my TN Drivers License and the lady on the desk asked me if I had a an ID with my photo on it, so I showed her my military dependent card and everything was ok.

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.

An even more cynical mind, like mine, believes they are hiding behind the racist card while ensuring that they can cheat the vote by never allowing voter ID.

His mother is a natural born citizen and is beside the point, she isn’t running for President.
He is not a natural born citizen any more than Anwar Al-Awlaki’s kids.
Born in Yemen to one citizen parent.

He is not and does not need to be naturalized. He was born a US citizen and has been from birth.

Of course it's not right but watch how many on this board will try to explain how dual loyalty is possible.

"There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all."

Teddy Roosevelt.

OH MY HEAVENS! How will poor dark folks vote??? (Poor white folks who don’t vote democrat, can go scratch)
Hint -— poor folks of any color, who are on public assistance, already HAVE a picture ID, or they couldn’t collect benefits, and poor folks who AREN’T on assistance can get a picture state ID, so since they were able to jump THAT hurdle, getting a voter ID shouldn’t be any harder. (Unless they live in a state run by democrats -— because those states won’t allow it)

US citizenship can indeed be stripped from someone. One reason is accepting citizenship of another country. The USA does not have to accept a dual citizenship.
