Jerry Brown Signs
Bill That Could Let Illegal Aliens Vote
by William Bigelow 12 Oct 2015
On Saturday, California
Governor Jerry Brown signed Assembly Bill 1461, the New Motor Voter Act,
which will automatically register people to vote through the DMV, and
could result in illegal aliens voting.
Any person who renewed or secured a driver’s license through
the DMV may now register to vote, or choose to opt out of doing so.
Because illegal immigrants are now eligible
for obtaining driver’s licenses, they could be allowed to vote in
elections if the Secretary of State’s office fails to verify their eligibility
properly.
Brown and the California Democratic party know exactly what
they are doing; as a Public Policy Institute survey showed, among
unregistered adults, 49% lean toward the Democratic Party and 22% toward the
Republican Party. Any bill permitting illegal immigrants to vote
would cement the Democratic Party’s hold on California.
True the Vote founder Catherine Engelbrecht stated, “This
bill is terrible. It makes an already bad situation much, much worse,” adding
that California’s registration databases “lack the necessary safeguards to keep
noncitizens off the voter rolls.”
Election Integrity Project of California President Linda
Paine echoed that AB 1461 “will effectively change the form of governance in
California from a Republic whose elected officials are determined by United
States citizens and will guarantee that noncitizens will participate in all
California elections going forward.” The Election Integrity Project of California had
joined True the Vote to demand that brown veto the bill, calling it a path
to “‘state sanctioned’ voter fraud.”
Although noncitizens’ driver’s licenses in California
feature the phrases “Federal Limits Apply” and “not valid for official federal
purposes,” True the Vote spokesman Logan Churchwell pointed out that state
officials “specifically chose not to make noncitizen license holders searchable
in their DMV database.”
California Secretary of State Alex Padilla countered that
the increase in voters will benefit the state, arguing, “The New Motor Voter Act will make our democracy
stronger by removing a key barrier to voting for millions of California
citizens. Citizens should not be required to opt in to their fundamental right
to vote. We do not have to opt in to other rights, such as free speech or due
process.”
California follows Oregon, where Democratic Gov.
Kate Brown signed a
bill in March allowing the automatic registration of all eligible
Oregonians to vote when they obtain or renew a driver’s license or state
identification card.
But Stephen Frank of California Political Review bluntly
asserted that the bill will reduce voter turnout because voters will sniff
fraud in the polls: “AB 1461 assures corruption of our elections–our elections
will look like those of Mexico and other corrupt nations–and honest
people will stop voting since illegal aliens will out vote them.”

Welcoming New Americans to
Rebuild The American Dream
Jul 14 | Policy
Immigration Reform
We are a nation of immigrants
– whether our ancestors came from Ireland or from Mexico, or whether they
immigrated here generations ago, or whether our parents brought us to the
United States. But today, this fundamental characteristic of our country – the
diversity that makes us great and enriches each new generation – is being
eroded. Our outdated immigration laws no longer meet our economic needs, our
national security imperatives, or our values as a people. They fail to reaffirm
our founding ideal, e pluribus unum – that out of many, we are one.
As a nation, we must honor
our proud legacy as a nation of immigrants and maintain one of America’s key
strategic advantages: that people all over the world still dream of becoming
Americans. To continue to attract the next generation of strivers, dreamers,
and risk-takers, and to be true to the values we hold dear, it is imperative
that we pursue a dynamic, modern approach to immigration policy. This will
require a new push for comprehensive immigration reform – and new leadership
that is willing to work tirelessly until it is finally accomplished, once and for
all.
