Here is the English translation of the letter sent to foreign-born registered voters.

Thanks, but I have already read the letter in both English and in the original Spanish and I do not need a translator in either language.

See my Post 39.

Original Spanish text of the letter:

“Se le avisa que si su residencia en este pais es ilegal o si es emigrado, votar en una elección federal es un delito que podra resultar en encarcelamiento, y sera deportado por votar sin tener derecho a ello.”

According to “Nuevo Pequeño Larousse Ilustrado, Diccionario Enciclopedico”, adapatacion española de Miguel de Torro y Gisbert, Doctor en Letras Correspondiente de la Academia española:

“ EMIGRADO: emigrante.”

“EMIGRANTE: Individuo que emigra.”

“EMIGRAR: Salir de su pais para establecerse en otro”

So, in effect:

“Se le avisa que si {ha salio de su pais para establecerse en los EEUU}, votar en una elección federal es un delito que podra resultar en encarcelamiento, y sera deportado por votar sin tener derecho a ello.”

Either in English or Spanish, it is extremely careless language that states that, if you were born in another country and immigrated to the U.S., voting in a Federal election is a crime that could result in your imprisonment and would result in your deportation.

If you send out letters to a black neighborhood telling people that, if they are convicted felons it is a crime to vote, you can get away with it.

If you send out letters to a black neighborhood telling people that, if they are convicted felons OR if they are black, it is a crime to vote, you will have the FBI dragging you away in handcuffs.

Your insinuating that naturalized citizens are idiots

Voter intimidation does not depend or whether or not an individual believes that you have the legal right to carry out your extralegal threats. Voter intimidation only requires that you to make an extralegal threat.

"If we see you voting in November, some of my friends in blue uniforms will be paying you a visit and you will be entertaining a 300 pound boyfriend for several nights at the local jail. Capiche?"

Try using both eyes when reading it and you might just see how the letter starts out.

"If you are a citizen of the United States, we ask that you participate in the democratic process of voting."

Of course if you're a supporter of, or work for Loretta Sanchez, you'd conveniently miss that part.
