There is no
secret about the fact that many people living within the United States are not
American citizens. Many Americans are concerned that some of these non-citizens
will vote in the presidential election. Fred Lucas at The Daily Signal shares some ideas about the problem of
non-Americans voting.
The right to vote is one of the
many benefits of being American citizens, but liberals and progressives are
giving that right to non-citizens as quickly and thoroughly as they can. With the
Obama administration actively fighting states that try to verifying the
citizenship status of registered voters, there seems to be increased chances
for voter fraud. Lucas says, “Inquiries into voter fraud are typically met with
derision from both government and the media – and in at least one instance with
prosecution. Prosecutors don’t prioritize voter fraud, while convictions only
garner light sentences.”
Leftists do not want voter
identification and look for ways to get around the voter integrity laws. Tom Fitton,
President of Judicial Watch, explains, “Why on earth would you not want to make
sure that only citizens are registered and voting? … That to me shows that the
Obama administration and the left generally, which is behind this, want to be
able to steal elections if necessary. To me, that’s a crisis.”
Fitton continues, “The
percentages of non-citizens in the United States are approaching nearly 15
percent now…. So it’s a numbers game. A certain number of those citizens – a certain
number of those residents, both legally … present and illegally present, are
going to register to vote.”
Leftists continue to argue that
voter ID laws limit the voting opportunities for minorities, but actual facts
dispute their arguments. In the states that are using voter ID laws, the number
of minorities voting has actually increased. It stands to reason that people
are more likely to vote if they feel their vote will count.
