This man was threatening U.S. citizens who were immigrants What evidence do you have that he had anything to do with this? You're already declaring him guilty. Have you not heard of "Innocent until proven guilty?" It appears not.
The title of this tread is "When the 'Truth' becomes a 'Hate' crime."
In fact, what was written was not the truth but was false and constituted voter intimidation":
"You are advised that if your residence in this country is illegal OR YOU ARE AN IMMIGRANT, voting in a federal election is a crime that could result in jail time, and you will be deported.........'
I did not identify who wrote that but whoever did write and mail that was guilty of voter intimidation. It is no different than mailing a letter to a black person stating "If you are black and you vote in the next election, you will be thrown in jail."
The letter did not write itself and mail itself so SOMEBODY is guilty of the act of voter intimidation.
The only question is who that person is.
If you like, I can change the sexist "this man" to the gender neutral "this person".
Here is the English translation of the letter sent to foreign-born registered voters.
Greetings,
You are being sent this letter because you were recently registered to vote. If you are a citizen of the United States, we ask that you participate in the democratic process of voting.
You are advised that if your residence in this country is illegal or you are an immigrant, voting in a federal election is a crime that could result in jail time, and you will be deported for voting without having the right to do so.
At the same time, you are advised that the U.S. government is installing a new computer system to verify the names of all new registered voters that vote in the October and November elections. Anti-immigration organizations can ask for information from this new computer system.
Unlike Mexico, there is no incentive to vote here. There is not a voter-registration card in the United States. Therefore, it is useless and dangerous to vote in any election if you are not a U.S. citizen.
Do not listen to any politician that tells you the opposite. They are only looking out for their own interests. They only want to win elections without regard to what happens to you.
Sincerely,
Sergio Ramirez
Your insinuating that naturalized citizens are idiots
