House Democrats Vote to Protect Illegal Immigrants Voting Rights in US Elections

Democrats in the House of Representatives took advantage of their new power last Friday and voted to defend local municipalities that allow illegal aliens to and vote in their local elections.

Texas Republican Dan Crenshaw said, “What kind of government would cancel the vote of its own citizens and replace it with noncitizens?” Crenshaw showed his frustration by adding, “It sounds like I’m making this up.”

What makes the vote more stunning is that six months ago, 49 Democrats crossed the aisle and joined Republicans in voting against illegal alien voting. Last week only six voted against the same measure.

This most recent action came as part of a broader debate on HR 1 or the ‘For the People Act.’ The measure which passed 223-197 includes unprecedented expansions of voter registration and access to polls, in addition to a major rewrite of campaign finance laws.

The Washington Times reported, “The vote marks a stunning reversal from just six months ago when the chamber — then under GOP control — voted to decry illegal immigrant voting.”

Lauren Fine who is a spokeswoman for House GOP Whip Steve Scalise told Fox News that Democrats who stood firmly against illegal aliens voting in the past but support it now are going to have to explain their action to voters soon.

Fine said, “These 41 Democrats must now answer to voters why they were against illegal immigrants voting in elections six months ago, but are suddenly in favor of it now.”

Scalice tweeted, “We’ve watched Democrats prioritize illegal immigrants over American citizens for a while now. But today they took it a step further by blocking our motion to prevent illegal immigrants from voting in elections—effectively devaluing the vote of legitimate voters.”

Interestingly, the change of mind about illegals voting among many Democrat politicians comes at the same time they intensify their efforts to block President Trump’s request to funding the wall.

When the initial vote was taken last September, Dan Stein applauded Republicans and Democrats for working together. The bill they passed, H.R. 1071, enounced local jurisdictions like San Francisco that actively encourage, illegal aliens to vote in certain municipal elections.

Stein, president of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), said, ”House Resolution 1071, which recognizes that allowing illegal immigrants the right to vote devalues the franchise and diminishes the voting power of United States citizens.”

Stein noted that Democrats who either voted against the resolution or abstained showed they were more concerned about their open borders agenda than the fabric of our democracy or their fellow citizens. He said, “FAIR applauds the Representatives who supported this resolution, albeit a non-binding one. They clearly recognize that our American community has the right to define standards of membership, and that includes the preservation of citizen-only voting. Likewise, these Representatives must also recognize that is the right of our nation to secure our borders and their responsibility to do. By once again refusing to adequately fund the border wall, these lawmakers have abdicated that responsibility. It’s long past time for consistency and more tangible commitments to fix our immigration crisis.”

Democrats have been pushing for illegal alien voting on several levels for at least the last four years. San Francisco opened voting in local elections to non-citizens in 2016 and since then others have become more vocal on a national level.

Stacey Abrams, failed Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate 0f 2018, called for illegal aliens to take part in elections. Her near-win in the south shows the inroads progressives have made into radically changing the relationship between citizenship and voting.

This January, PBS host Margaret Hoover asked Abrams if she saw a difference between allowing non-citizens to vote in state and federal elections. Abrams responded that allowing non-citizens to vote on a local level enables “people to be participants in the process without it somehow undermining our larger democratic ethic that says that you should be a citizen to be a part of the conversation.”

When pressed by Hoover to say she supported non-citizens voting, Abrams answered, “I wouldn’t oppose it.”

Representative Crenshaw used Twitter to remind voters that he offered a non-binding motion in Congress to reaffirm “that only US citizens should have the right to vote” and Democrats rejected it.

Crenshaw is right – the future of the Democrat Party is a country where illegals can vote. As he tweeted, we need to let that “sink in.”

OH!!!!Hell To Bells No!!!! These Loony Libs are violating our Rights to protect our Voting Rights!!!!in our Country. Y'all should be an American Citizen, not Illegal Immigrants. Democrats are trying to take control of our Country and totally have their way in the US Elections, be it Legal or Not!!!! This is totally Insane and it should be Over thrown. Can y'all believe what the Dems are trying to do? The Dems are Law Breakers, and they want total control at what ever cost.....

Carol Kelly

Quite simply illegal immigrants don’t have voting rights or any other rights in this country. If they want rights, let them go home. This is getting completely out of control and I’m furious as we all should be.

woodguru

Calm down and try to understand the reality, it's hard to use your brain when you are angry and reactive.

Carol Kelly

You’re absolutely right. I just hate feeling so helpless.

I totally agree with your statement Carol Kelly!! but try and tell the Dems that!!!! it will go in one ear and out the other. They are trying to take over the American Ship!! and throw us over board!!! That's just how they work. They don't are about the American Law as long as they get what they want at what ever Cost to our Country.

Carol Kelly

We are on the same slippery slope. I have grandchildren and great grandchildren and I want all future generations of citizens to have the same rights I was born with. We cannot allow the Eastand West Coasts to run the country.

There is another similar topic on OPP, "kansas Resurrecting Old Voter I.D law" that I jsut posted the following comment on:
I'll bet this ends up in the Supreme Court ! !
In Mexico, you have to have a voter I.D. card to vote. Americans can't, nor should be able to, vote in their elections.
Personally, I think an American voter I.D. cards should have a photograph, a thumb print AND a hologram to prevent falsification.

F.D.R.

This should be dead on arrival but should it be instituted anywhere then that states votes should not be counted period !

If they do this they will not have to go to the trouble of cheating anymore!

Smedley_buzkill

What reality? That wetback criminals can come into this country and vote?

Jean Deaux

Absolutely correct! They have no rights to be here unless they have had their occupational trades or specialties pre-approved, have gone through extensive medical exams to we know they are not bringing in disease, have a place to live and can live with NO welfare benefits nor educational or medical benefits. Our country is not a permanent home for those that can't support themselves. They have absolutely NO voting rights until they have received their citizenship papers. To even show their faces at a polling place should be a crime and NO one should be able to vote without a photo ID. Don't give me any of the garbage that it is disenfranchising. There are numerous requirements to show a picture ID in our society; not having one to vote is ridiculous and must not be allowed to occur for anyone!

Carol Kelly

I totally agree. They enforce a number of laws in Mexico that we should be enforcing here. Another is the right to own outright a place of business unless you partner with a Mexican. Ever ask yourself why they opened their southern border when in the past they held fast against immigrants coming through on their way here?

These dolts, Democrats, never give up.
THey can't win on their own ideas and merits so they
have to resort to this and hope there are enough other
dolts out there who will lap it up and vote for them.

You are really naive. Illegal aliens are entering like a tidal wave and the Democrats do everything in their power to allow them to stay, even though most are illiterate and many are bring diseases, like T.B., measles, cholera etc., with them. This is fact, not fiction. Once they surrender to border patrol agents, many have to go to hospitals for treatment for injuries, dehydration and other traumas suffered. The border hospitals are going bankrupt trying to keep up. Many over the last few years are turned loose with a court date, but the vast majority never show up. . . they just stay here in the United States and sort of blend in the populace. Many vote, especially where it's LEGAL for an illegal alien to get a driver's license, which registers drivers to vote. It has been shown there are over 1.5 million illegal aliens on the California voter roles, and over half voted in the last election. We're spending billions of dollars each year to house, clothe, educate and feed and provide medical care for approximately 11 MILLION illegal aliens. Some estimate the number double that. You are living in some sort of fantasy land! Another big fraud being foisted off on Americans is the large-scale theft of social security numbers. Social security cards are easily falsified by professionals and sold. Having lived in Texas for the last 40+ years, I knew several people whose identities were stolen. Once a person obtains that sacred SSN, they can get insurance, a job, steal someone's social security checks and tax refunds. Ruin their credit. It's a real disaster!
What you described above are LEGAL immigrants. I have absolutely no problem with them.
