In Arizona, the only state that requires proof of citizenship to register to vote, more than 38,000 voter registration applications have been thrown out since the state adopted its measure in 2004. That number was included in election data obtained through a lawsuit filed by voting rights advocates and provided to The New York Times. More than 70 percent of those registrations came from people who stated under oath that they were born in the United States, the data showed.

How can anybody look at the denial of these 38,000 voter registrations as anything other than an unalloyed good?

That 38,000 wasn't illegal.

It was because a new registration form was adopted, but everyone was submitting the old form, and the old form was rejected. The problem was made worse because they were tardy in getting the new form out.

I’ve actually had leftists argue that non-citizens/illegals should vote because they have a stake in the outcome of elections.
