But no. Unfortunately, it's a Republican problem. And it's a whopper.
The Texas Secretary of State, David Whitley, issued a press release the other day regarding noncitizens on voter roles. Here's an excerpt:
Through this evaluation, the Texas Secretary of State's office discovered that a total of approximately 95,000 individuals identified by DPS as non-U.S. citizens have a matching voter registration record in Texas, approximately 58,000 of whom have voted in one or more Texas elections. Voting in an election in which the person knows he or she is not eligible to vote is a second-degree felony in the State of Texas. Upon receipt of this information, the Texas Secretary of State's office immediately provided the data in its possession to the Texas Attorney General's office, as the Secretary of State has no statutory enforcement authority to investigate or prosecute alleged illegal activity in connection with an election.
Democrat controlled organizations have fought against efforts to clean up voter rolls for years. What a shame that both parties can't agree that people ineligible to vote shouldn't be there. There's the common assumption that illegal votes favor Democrats. So one needn't wonder why so many Democrats attitudes toward border control range from lax control to open borders.
