Should non-citizens be eligible to vote?
Outlandish!—especially in a presidential election year. (Isn’t epidemic fraud bad enough?) Yet a movement to grant the vote to all immigrants, even illegal immigrants, has been gathering steam for more than two decades. And it looks likely to grow more as America’s immigrant population grows.
Typical of the Treason Lobby, immigrant voting is justified in the language of Americanism—“rights,” “justice,” “democracy,” “no taxation without representation,” “tradition”—to disguise the concept’s underlying radicalism.
Former Federal Election Commission Member Hans von Spakovsky, in a 2008 paper for The Heritage Foundation, noted that there are more than a million illegal immigrants in Florida alone—significant, because the U.S. Justice Department by then had prosecuted more citizen vote fraud cases in Florida than in any other state. State officials are now investigating whether as many as 2,700 non-U.S. citizens currently registered to vote in Florida have been unlawfully casting ballots. The probe, based on research by the Miami Herald and Miami’s CBS television affiliate, revealed that about 2,000 of the potential violators live in Miami-Dade County.
The non-citizen voting rights movement is still in the germination stage. But it would be folly to downplay its dangers. Its advocates are as patient as they are unrelenting. Their object is to erase America’s historic national identity—while disingenuously claiming the patriotic high ground. It’s all part of larger project: the Left’s war against the nation-state.
