Voting and Illegal Immigrants
One Million and Counting
Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita says a first check of the state’s voter rolls has revealed more than million possible invalid voter registrations. Under a new plan authorized by the Justice Department, the Secretary of State is mailing out voter registration verification forms to the state’s 4.3 million voters. The ones that come back get another form mailed, if any those come back the voters are moved to inactive status. Rokita says by eliminating invalid registrations from the voter rolls officials can not only reduce fraud, but the costs of elections because there will be fewer votes that that have to be processed.
It May not be Amnesty, but it sure looks Like It
Indiana Congressman Dan Burton tells me that while he does not support amnesty for illegal aliens but his proposal to deal with the issue looks pretty darn close. Burton wants to register all illegals and give them temporary residency status. His plan would also require them to learn English, the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. They would also pay taxes and go to the end of for citizenship. Like I said, it’s not amnesty, but it kind of looks like it.
