Illegals commit rampant voter fraud throughout the U.S.

Illegal aliens and immigrants with green cards are committing rampant voter fraud in the United States. Reports of ineligible persons registering to vote have raised concerns about how states verify voter lists using the voter's age, US citizenship, mental competence, and felon status.

Some states, for instance, fail to do any more than ask on their application forms if the registrant is a US citizen. The applicant checks off the "Yes" box, but there is no action to verify the authenticity of that answer. Other states merely ask for a utility bill or a driver's license, neither of which prove citizenship.

Federal data sources have the potential to help state election officials identify registrants who may be convicted felons or non-citizens, but few states communicate with federal agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security's immigration section.

"Thousands of non-citizens are registered to vote in some states, and tens if not hundreds of thousands in total may be present on the voter rolls nationwide," said Hans A. von Spakovsky, a researcher at the Heritage Foundation.

"To keep non-citizens from diluting citizens' votes, immigration and election officials must cooperate far more effectively than they have to date, and state and federal officials must increase their efforts to enforce the laws against non-citizen voting that are already on the books," he added.

    YA SEE THAT THERE IS THE PROBLEM!
    IF OUR OWN PEOPLE WON'T ENFORCE THE LAW, WHAT CAN WE DO?!
