Louisiana’s Republican senator today introduced a bill that would make voting by illegal immigrants and non-citizens a deportable offense.
The Protect Voter Integrity Act would making voting by this non-eligible population an aggravated felony under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), which subjects the violator to expedited removal.
“While this may sound bizarre to a lot of folks in Washington, illegal aliens and noncitizens have no constitutional right to vote in American elections. And they certainly shouldn’t influence the outcomes. Louisianians and the rest of America understand this as common sense,” said Sen. David Vitter (R-La.), who is chairman of the U.S. Senate Border Security and Enforcement First Immigration Caucus.
“My bill injects some of that common sense and puts teeth into voter laws so we can uphold the integrity of American elections. Of course we want immigrants to become voters once they become citizens, but our election system and our right to vote are being taken advantage of because of weak enforcement.”
I thought it already was. Huh.
Doesn’t matter; no one’s going to prosecute them because that would be racist.
Ditto. This is as bizarre as it gets and that’s saying a lot today.
Ordinary citizens to remind adminstrators of the functions of Laws of the USA. And having to remind Congressmen/Senators/Judges and Executives at various levels of government that WE The People live within the PROTECTIONS of the fundamental legal pillar of our city/state/federal nation: the Constitution.
THAT legal pillar PROTECTS the RIGHTS – voting for OUR representatives of OUR government certainly a fundamental AND EXCLUSIVE right. Not available to any tom, dick or harry who shows up on election days. Or is that part of the CHANGES of this government?
If illegal immigrants operative word ILLEGAL vote, why not anybody, a German, Frenchman, Italian, Chinese, Russian, etc. ANY citizens of any of the “nations” members of the UN. Now THAT’S multi-culturalism.
What makes Americans so special that they are jealous of their rights to vote for their own government. This is racism of the most deplorable kind, thinking America and Americans are in some way or ways “exceptional”.
I thought being here illegally was a “deportable offense”.
WTF is wrong with us as a nation?
Just one more of many (thousands) of examples of what happpens when laws on the books are not enforced. For some reason the powers-that-be think that by adding still one more redundant law they don’t intend to enforce, the miscreants will be scared off. Hasn’t worked yet, has it?
It is racist to try and prevent one of the member’s of the higher races to vote–even if they are not entitled to. You people need to stop being so uppity.
Be serious. You don’t even have to be alive to vote democrat.
