Because many Americans realize that voter fraud is a problem in American<\/a> elections, some states (including North Carolina<\/a>) are moving toward voter identification laws. Some groups, claiming the identification laws are discriminatory, are fighting these laws. However, President Obama’s<\/a> executive amnesty may provide a new wrinkle in this discussion.<\/p>\n

Yesterday The Washington Times<\/a> posted an article with the headline, “Obama amnesty creates loophole for illegal immigrants<\/a> to vote in elections.” Does this leave any doubt as to what this entire discussion is actually about?<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

While stressing that it remains illegal for noncitizens to vote, secretaries of state from Ohio and Kansas said they won\u2019t have the tools to sniff out illegal immigrants who register anyway, ignoring stiff penalties to fill out the registration forms that are easily available at shopping malls, motor vehicle bureaus and in curbside registration drives.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anyone registering to vote attests that he or she is a citizen, but Ohio Secretary of State<\/a> Jon Husted<\/a> said mass registration drives often aren\u2019t able to give due attention to that part, and so illegal immigrants will still get through.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton<\/a>, the District of Columbia\u2019s nonvoting member of Congress<\/a>, accused Republicans of an effort at voter suppression<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe president\u2019s executive order gives immigrants the right to stay \u2014 immigrants who have been here for years, immigrants who have been working hard and whose labor we have needed,\u201d Ms. Norton<\/a> said. \u201cThe Republicans may want to go down in history as the party who tried once again 100 years later to nullify the right to vote. Well, I am here to say they shall not succeed.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rep. Stephen F. Lynch<\/a>, Massachusetts Democrat, said he doubted illegal immigrants would risk running afoul of the law \u2014 which could get them deported \u2014 just to be an insignificant part of an election.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The hearing was the latest GOP effort to dent Mr. Obama\u2019s executive action, announced in November, which grants tentative legal status and work permits to as many as 4 million illegal immigrant parents whose children are either U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents. The president also expanded a 2012 policy for so-called Dreamers, or illegal immigrants brought to the U.S. as children, granting them tentative legal status and work permits as well.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If I understand the above quote correctly, it is now considered voter suppression to want to keep illegal immigrants from voting. If you love America and treasure to right to vote as an American citizen, you might begin to think about supporting those in Congress who are trying to block the executive order on amnesty that President Obama is trying to force to become law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
