Who should vote in the US?

Apparently anyone.

Similar story in NM. The new governor ordered a similar study and simply compared the number of illegal aliens with driver's licenses with the voter registrations and there was a bunch of overlap. Many also actually voted (guess which party, lol).

We wouldn't want to "disenfranchise" people, would we?

Ridiculous. That is simply ridiculous.

I know in the case of New Mexico we're a closely divided state on the national level elections. Sometimes going one way or another by well under 1000 votes.

Heather Wilson (R) won in 2006, but by under 900 votes. The margin would have been greater without several hundred illegals voting. Note that in Colorado, these were merely "non-citizens." Some might have been US citizens who moved to another State. NM alone has thousands of registered illegal aliens.

It's really ridiculous. Many elections are very close, and anyone illegally voting disenfranchises a citizen. The acceptable level of illegal voting should be zero.

Nothing will ever be done because the jackwagons who want to get re elected don't want to piss off the growing hispanic vote. (give you three guesses why the hispanic vote is growing but the first two don't count.

)

If congress was going to do anything about immigration they would have done it already. This problem as been ongoing for years.... decades even. They ain't doing squat except talk. talk talk and more talk. All show, and no go.

Republicans have tried to get the DLs for illegals repealed here, but since they don't control the legislature, it never goes through. The Democrats want illegals to have a DL because they know they will illegally vote. That was said when they passed the law, and they said it would never happen. It has been proved, since illegals have registered, and actually voted, it's right there in the voter records.

Then the republicans tried to get stricter voter ID laws. Democrats are against those, too. They claim that having to show ID with "scare" legal voters away from the polls for some inexplicable reason. It'll scare ILLEGAL voters, to be sure. Since they know who the illegals vote for though...

Tater, Illegal immigration has been a problem long before we had a Democratic controlled congress. Even when the Reublican's had control of the white house AND congress nothing (or little to nothing at best) was done. This problem has been ongoing since the F'ing 80's. Probably before even then. They simply are NOT going to do anything. Espeically now since they want votes.

I think that's a failure of the voter registration laws, not of the DL laws.

As a paramedic for many years, I know I'd rather have "trained" drivers on the road rather than random people. Not saying it'd really make a difference, but it'd help some. Anyways, I believe I can travel overseas and obtain a DL in England correct? Whats the difference with any foreigner getting a DL here?
