State election officials testified before Congress on Thursday that due to the driver’s licenses and Social Security numbers illegal immigrants will receive from Obama’s temporary deportation amnesty, a major loophole will be created that will allow them to vote in elections.
Although it remains illegal for noncitizens to vote, officials won’t be able to detect illegals who chose to register anyway with forms that are accessible at multiple locations within any city.
Anyone registering to vote attests that he or she is a citizen, but Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted said mass registration drives often aren’t able to give due attention to that part, and so illegal immigrants will still get through.
Kansas Secretary of State Kris W. Kobach said even some motor vehicle bureau workers automatically ask customers if they want to register to vote, which some noncitizens in the past have cited as their reason for breaking the law to register.
“It’s a guarantee it will happen,” Mr. Kobach said.
Democrats disputed that it was an issue at all, saying Mr. Obama’s new policy, which could apply to more than 4 million illegal immigrants, doesn’t change anything in state or federal law.
Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, the District of Columbia’s nonvoting member of Congress, accused Republicans of an effort at voter suppression.
“The president’s executive order gives immigrants the right to stay — immigrants who have been here for years, immigrants who have been working hard and whose labor we have needed,” Ms. Norton said. “The Republicans may want to go down in history as the party who tried once again 100 years later to nullify the right to vote. Well, I am here to say they shall not succeed.”
Rep. Stephen F. Lynch, Massachusetts Democrat, said he doubted illegal immigrants would risk running afoul of the law — which could get them deported — just to be an insignificant part of an election.
The hearing was the latest GOP effort to dent Mr. Obama’s executive action, announced in November, which grants tentative legal status and work permits to as many as 4 million illegal immigrant parents whose children are either U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents. The president also expanded a 2012 policy for so-called Dreamers, or illegal immigrants brought to the U.S. as children, granting them tentative legal status and work permits as well.
Republicans say there are a host of unintended consequences, including the chances of illegal voting, a perverse incentive created by Obamacare that would make newly legalized workers more attractive to some businesses than American workers and complications with the tax code.
The newly legalized workers can apply for back refunds from the IRS even for years when they didn’t file their taxes, agency Commissioner John Koskinen told Congress on Wednesday.
Mr. Koskinen said the White House never spoke with him about potential consequences before Mr. Obama announced his policy changes. The secretaries of state who testified to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on Thursday said they too never heard from Mr. Obama ahead of time.
Mr. Husted has written the Obama administration asking for help in identifying the name and date of birth of all noncitizens who get Social Security numbers, which he said would allow states to go back and clear illegally registered voters from their rolls.
He said the administration hasn’t responded.
NO WAY!
obamas plan all along. politics over the American people
And our $#%&!@* Republican Congress and Senate won’t do anything to stop this Madness. America id $#%&!@*ing DONE.
It’s the only way the Democrats win, cheating. Using illegals and dead people to vote.
Bull$#%&!@*. You should re-name this site “Lies and Action”.
We, as Americans have no RIGHTS anymore. WAKE UP PEOPLE.
The only reason he granted amnesty was for the vote and to allow whatever ele,ment into the country. Just like a liberal to post pictures of children all over the internet but not even mention the criminal element that their false screening process allows in. The cartel has been cheering the libs o n in the quest of usa downfall and open door drug dealing!
of course the plan all the time. democrat voters. more low information uneducated voters
undocumented democrats
Remember that during the obama reign of hate and racism and anti-Americanism and Anti-freedom and Antisemitism that obama committed terrible deeds in the name of allah.
obama has failed the entire free world. He is an embarrassment and disgrace to all humanity.
He is a TRAITOR working to destroy the USA. And congress is ALLOWING it, against Americans wishes.
The moslem terrorists are undoubtedly planning another attack on the USA.
And obama has put moslem terrorist leaders in top defense, security and intelligence positions in the US to assist in coordinating these moslem terrorist attacks on America.
THESE moslem TERRORISTS are obombas “moslem brothers” that he THANKS and provides with US arms and money.
obama HATES Americans and America – the entire United States, the west, Jews, England, freedom, liberty, and all we stand for.
Watch Dinesh D’Souza’s obama’s America.
islam is the religion of oppression, murder, torture, atrocities on humanity, sex enslavement, rape, pedophilia, child molestation, lying and goat fuxxing.
You know the difference between a moderate moslem and a radical one? The radical moslem wants to chop your head off. The moderate moslem doesn’t want to chop your head off. He wants the radical one to do it.

obama: “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
He is using debt as a weapon of mass destruction to weaken America as a a global superpower, disarming our nuclear arsenal AND our entire military, to leave us broken, defenseless, impoverished and destroyed – The next third world country.
THAT is o-BOMB-a’s legacy to America.
He IS a FAILURE – malignant, malevolent and EVIL – and Congress MUST STOP HIM NOW.
