Stealing the Vote

Frightening statistics for you to chew on as we get closer to the Presidential Election. Hans A. von Spakovsky writes this in National Review: Amid all the talk of new voters becoming involved in the election, hopefully one group of voters will not vote in November — non-citizens, many of whom are illegally registered to vote all over the country, particularly in the southwest. Although there is no reliable method to determine the exact number registered aliens, there is evidence that this is a significant and growing problem. This, of course, is just fine with Democrats, who hope (correctly) that the majority of illegal aliens will vote for them. von Spakovsky cites Chicago as an example of this huge problem: After a grand-jury investigation of the 1982 Illinois governor’s race resulted in the conviction of aliens for illegally registering and voting, the U.S. Attorney estimated that there were 80,000 non-citizens registered to vote in Chicago. In 1985, the district director of the Immigration and Naturalization Services testified in the Illinois legislature that 25,000 illegal and 40,000 legal aliens remained registered in Chicago. The grand jury found that aliens registered so they could “obtain documents identifying them as U.S. citizens” and had used their voter registration cards “to obtain a myriad of benefits, from social security to jobs with the Defense Department.” .... Similar accounts from other states such as Utah and Arizona demonstrate that this is a widespread phenomena. FULL ARTICLE... Remember, they're just here to work.
