And I live in Southern California too, where there would be (according to Dumpy's minions) "hordes" of them climbing over the fence and walls to get in and vote. Our border agents are what, sleeping? That SENTRI pass is too easy to get I guess.

Because, you know, once here, they have nothing else to do other than wait in line (a long time) and cast a ballot. Not earn money to send back home. Oh no, 'voting illegally' is more prosperous to them right?

What exactly would the non-citizen be voting for? What would they be hoping to accomplish with their vote? And if they are voting, why are they (presumably) not voting for Republicans?

Its mind boggling that millions of people would pretend to believe that, a group of people who's important goal is to not be caught here illegally, would then go out of their way to engage in actions likely to get them caught. The last thing a person who is here illegally is going to do is go try to vote.

When you have nothing but boogie men and conspiracy theories to run on....

and can't see any.

Umm.... where they at? Can't seem to find any lawbreakers here in SoCal, except for the ones BORN HERE.

It's as you said. boogie men, and monsters under the bed and all that jazz.

I look at 'undocumented' workers as like "they have a lot more to fear from you than you do from them."

"But... But... they're taking all our jobs!"

Ummm... which jobs would those be? Also, if it is true, shouldn't you be going after the ones 'hiring' them for cheap labor and paying little to nothing? If "they" can't hire them, then there would be no jobs to take would there?

she reminds me of one of my dad's favorite sayings 'It looks like she combed her hair with a Mix-Master'.

I know that doesn't necessarily have anything to do with how she legislates, but geez, the woman is going out in public, you'd think she could at least run a brush through her hair??

he immigrated to America and became a U.S. citizen.

Sherlock Holmes remained in Great Britain and he never gave Watson enough credit, always speaking to him as if he were still in school.

To vote you have to be registered and to register to vote you need to be a citizen.
She is just selling “the big lie” that those illegal voters are flooding across the Rio
Grande so they can vote in American elections.

…that Republicans cannot produce a single tangible example of it happening.

It’s another scare tactic on par with “gay teachers are turning your kids trans and giving full bottom surgeries at the school nurse’s office” and “kids identify as cats so schools are putting litter boxes in bathrooms.”

Total bullshit that low intellect right-wingers addicted to fear and rage embrace.
