So what? A refugee is an illegal immigrant if they come here illegally, by foot, auto, boat or plane. BTW, immigrants, legal or illegal - cannot vote.
The Real HR 1 Problem: Illegal Immigrants Voting?
Kessler dismisses as a minor problem the fact that the California Department of Motor Vehicles had to admit that, due to a “glitch,” 1,500 noncitizens (not one, as Kessler claims) may have been registered to vote in error through its new automatic voter registration system.
This discovery was layered on top of mistakes made with twenty-three thousand other registrations by California officials, something else Kessler fails to mention.
Reports indicate there were as many as one hundred thousand errors made by California’s automatic system in just the first year.
But California election officials had no clue (or didn’t care) that hundreds of registered California voters were aliens. None were ever prosecuted, and California never took any steps to fix this security hole in its registration system.
Kessler also fails to mention that Illinois has had the same problem, with hundreds of illegal immigrants being registered because of a “technical glitch” in its new automatic voter registration system.
ake Margarita Del Pilar Fitzpatrick, a native and citizen of Peru who registered to vote when she obtained an Illinois driver’s license and then voted twice.
Kessler doesn’t mention Pennsylvania either, where another “glitch” in the state’s DMV system registered over eight thousand illegal immigrants to vote—without election officials realizing they had a problem until years later. And they didn’t even have an automatic voter registration system.
The truth is, that America already has a problem with illegal immigrants registering and voting, as demonstrated by numerous reports and cases.
The Washington Post’s claims to the contrary are deserving of four Pinocchios and a “pants on fire” for good measure.
