We have recently heard the story of Ian Andre Roberts, the superintendent of Des Moines Public Schools in Iowa, who entered America in 1999 on a student visa and Ignored a final order of removal by an immigration judge in 2024. It has also been discovered that he is registered to vote in Maryland (as a Democrat).<\/p>\n
On September 30, Red State<\/a> posted the following:<\/p>\n The story of Roberts was bad enough from the onset. Entered the country in 1999 on a student visa. Ignored a final order of removal by an immigration judge in 2024. Gaming the system to attain a full-time superintendent position, in which he earned a $270,000 annual salary<\/a>. Fled ICE during a chase<\/a>, where agents eventually found cash, a knife, and a loaded gun in his vehicle.<\/strong><\/p>\n In short, an illegal alien profiting off skirting the law represents everything seedy about the failed immigration system in this country. But wait, there’s more.<\/strong><\/p>\n According to information attained by Townhall columnist Dustin Grage, Roberts has an active voter registration status in Maryland. He has held that status as a registered Democrat (of course) since 2012, according to records.<\/strong><\/p>\n The article notes:<\/p>\n Mind-blowing, isn’t it, that the very thing Democrats insist is\u00a0<\/em>not and could never<\/em> happen appears to have happened yet again. And by “mind-blowing,” I mean, it’s everything we’ve known has been happening in this country all along. Democrats don’t die on the hill for illegal immigrants without it helping to secure their political power.<\/strong><\/p>\n Roberts’ story encompasses nearly every element of that. He appears to have taken advantage of weak immigration enforcement to remain in the country, fleshed out his criminal background<\/a> (illegal weapons possession charges from 2020) while illegally in the country, took a high-paying educational position away from a legal citizen, and is eligible to vote in all federal, state, and local elections.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n The article concludes:<\/p>\n It’s why Democrats have vehemently opposed the SAVE (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility) Act, a bill sponsored by Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) designed to safeguard our elections by ensuring only American citizens vote in federal elections.<\/strong><\/p>\n “Don\u2019t believe (Senate Minority Leader Chuck) Schumer,” Roy wrote on X<\/a> regarding revelations of the superintendent’s voter registration status. “Illegals are voting. Pass the SAVE Act and clean our voter rolls.”<\/strong><\/p>\n Tesla CEO Elon Musk has said any politicians who oppose the SAVE Act are “traitors<\/a>.”<\/strong><\/p>\n The bill passed the House<\/a> of Representatives in April 2025 and is currently pending in the Senate.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n As this is a developing story, RedState will provide updates on the\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Ian Andre Roberts case\u00a0as more information becomes available.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n We don’t know if he voted, and to be realistic, Maryland probably didn’t need another Democrat vote for the Democrats to control the state. However, this is an example of things that should not be happening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We have recently heard the story of Ian Andre Roberts, the superintendent of Des Moines Public Schools in Iowa, who entered America in 1999 on a student visa and Ignored a final order of removal by an immigration judge in … Continue reading
