Non-citizen voting
We received a letter from Carlos Garcia of Dayton, Ohio:
As a USA Citizen I am insulted that illegal aliens and permanent residents are able to vote undetected! How is it that we never hear, from Republicans as well as Democrats, the need to advertise that only USA Citizens are permitted to cast a vote! I have never seen on TV or heard on Radio, a public announcement, reminding the public that only those who are Citizens of this Country can vote and that those that are doing it illegally will be prosecuted. I become a USA Citizen in 1980, in order to be able to Vote! I hate to see my vote canceled by an illegal alien, who is not even aware of the important issues our Great Nation is facing. I blame the members of Congress for not having the courage to enforce this, for fear to be labeled "Racist" or other code words that are very common on the lips of the liberal democrats. I hope and pray that this changes soon, before we find that our beloved Country, is no better than a banana republic!
I enjoy your website very much. Keep up the good work.
A Grateful Citizen of the USA
Carlos, Garcia
