The order, similar to DACA, suggests intentions to somewhat integrate illegal\u2064 aliens \u200binto the societal fabric, qualifying them under certain conditions, \u200bsuch as a 10-year U.S residency.<\/p>\n<p>The\u200b article also highlights instances in various cities and \u2062states where\u2063 noncitizens have been permitted to vote in local elections,\u2063 and where\u200b efforts\u200d to legislate \u2062or overturn such practices continue. For example, \u200cin California, Maryland, and Vermont cities, noncitizens have been \u2064allowed local electoral rights. Furthermore, it discusses\u2063 the opposition by Democrats \u2064and some media outlets to the SAVE\u2064 Act, a bill aimed to close loopholes that could allow illegal \u200cimmigrants to\u200d vote in U.S.\u2063 elections.<\/p>\n<p>the article \u2064portrays a complex interplay between different \u200dstakeholders \u2013 political parties, the\u2063 media, legal \u200cframeworks,\u200c and immigrant communities\u2063 \u2013 that shapes the ongoing discourse and legislation\u200b regarding \u200dthe voting rights of\u200c noncitizens and illegal\u200c immigrants in \u2063the U.S.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-content\">\n<p>Conservative claims that one of Democrats\u2019 motivation for allowing millions of illegal aliens to cross America\u2019s border is to give these foreigners U.S. citizenship and voting rights<strong>  <\/strong>are consistently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/07\/29\/us\/politics\/immigration-latinos-hispanic-voters.html\">labeled<\/a> by Democrats as unfounded \u201cracist conspiracy theories.\u201d The idea, as proponents of this theory argue, is that it will give Democrats a permanent electoral majority and allow them to dominate U.S. elections for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, despite their melodramatic protests, everything Democrats have <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/02\/05\/elon-musk-entire-goal-of-bogus-biden-border-bill-is-to-give-illegal-aliens-voting-rights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said and done<\/a> regarding the ongoing invasion at America\u2019s southern border indicates this theory isn\u2019t mere speculation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2-long d-flex justify-content-center\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-264952966\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1379703300879-0\" class=\"mb-30\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-e50b1a472317e7f239773e24c184699a fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-e50b1a472317e7f239773e24c184699a\"><\/div>\n<p>The latest example came Tuesday, when President Joe Biden took executive action to unilaterally grant deportation protections to more than 500,000 illegal aliens married to U.S. citizens. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/c4nnyr4j9w5o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BBC<\/a>, the order will allow these foreign nationals to \u201cwork in the US legally\u201d and put them on a pathway to citizenship.<\/p>\n<p>Aliens must have resided in the U.S. at least 10 years and been married by June 17 to qualify for the program, according to the White House. The order bears all the hallmarks of illegality that plagued former President Obama\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2019\/11\/14\/it-doesnt-matter-if-daca-is-good-policy-its-unconstitutional\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) initiative<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But somehow, after this order and three years of nonexistent border enforcement under Biden, Democrats want Americans to believe they aren\u2019t interested in handing out U.S. citizenship and voting rights to foreign nationals like it\u2019s candy on Halloween. So, in case you weren\u2019t already convinced, here\u2019s five examples of Democrats making it abundantly clear where they stand on the issue of illegal aliens voting in American elections.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Alien Voting in Local Elections<\/h2>\n<p>While largely dismissed by Democrat media activists, leftist-run cities in states such as California, Maryland, and Vermont <a href=\"https:\/\/ballotpedia.org\/Laws_permitting_noncitizens_to_vote_in_the_United_States\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">allow<\/a> aliens to vote in municipal elections. <\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-43d10d56d98d7449b33769bdd0ee3d77 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-6\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-43d10d56d98d7449b33769bdd0ee3d77\"><\/div>\n<p>In 2022, for example, the Oakland City Council <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oaklandca.gov\/news\/councilmembers-vote-to-send-non-citizen-voting-ballot-measure-for-ousd-school-board-elections-to-november-general-election-ballot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sent<\/a> a <a href=\"https:\/\/ballotpedia.org\/Oakland,_California,_Measure_S,_Noncitizen_Residents_Voting_Measure_(November_2022)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ballot measure<\/a> to voters for approval granting \u201cnoncitizen parents, legal guardians, and legally recognized caregivers of children who are eligible to attend Oakland Unified School District (OUSD) schools, the ability to vote in OUSD Board Director elections.\u201d The measure ultimately passed and took effect last year. <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the city of Burlington, Vermont<strong> <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seattletimes.com\/nation-world\/nation\/burlington-approves-noncitizen-voting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">amended<\/a> its town charter in March 2023 to authorize alien voting in local races. A veto of the measure by liberal Republican Gov. Phil Scott was subsequently <a href=\"https:\/\/ballotpedia.org\/Laws_permitting_noncitizens_to_vote_in_the_United_States\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">overridden<\/a> by the state\u2019s Democrat-dominated legislature on June 30, 2023, leading to the law\u2019s immediate enaction.<\/p>\n<p>A measure passed by New York City Democrats in 2021 authorizing some foreign nationals to vote in local races was <a href=\"https:\/\/ballotpedia.org\/Laws_permitting_noncitizens_to_vote_in_the_United_States\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">declared<\/a> unconstitutional by the New York Supreme Court the following year. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Fight to Preserve Alien Voting in D.C. Elections<\/h2>\n<p>Similar to the aforementioned localities, Washington, D.C. Democrats <a href=\"https:\/\/www.judicialwatch.org\/documents-reveal-dc-training-noncitizen-voting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">adopted<\/a> a <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/02\/10\/house-republicans-block-dc-law-that-would-allow-illegal-residents-to-vote\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">law<\/a> in 2022 permitting noncitizen voting in municipal elections. <\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-390488b437cae27d8594baa3d7901eda fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-10\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-390488b437cae27d8594baa3d7901eda\"><\/div>\n<p>Utilizing their constitutional authority to oversee the district, House Republicans <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/02\/10\/house-republicans-block-dc-law-that-would-allow-illegal-residents-to-vote\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">passed<\/a> a measure in February 2023 blocking the law\u2019s implementation. While 42 House Democrats joined their Republican colleagues in supporting the bill\u2019s passage (260-173), the measure was opposed by a majority of the lower chamber\u2019s minority party and effectively killed by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/03\/14\/illegal-residents-can-now-vote-in-dc-thanks-to-chuck-schumer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">refused<\/a> to bring it to the Senate floor for a vote.<\/p>\n<p>The GOP-controlled House <a href=\"https:\/\/clerk.house.gov\/Votes\/2024232?RollCallNum=232\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">passed<\/a> a new measure seeking to repeal the D.C. law last month. The bill received support from 210 Republicans and 52 Democrats, with 143 Democrats voting against. Senior House Democrats <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2024\/05\/23\/democrats-dc-non-citizen-voting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">told<\/a> Axios they expected some members to vote in support of the bill due to their electoral vulnerability this fall.<\/p>\n<p>The bill has not been considered by the Democrat-controlled Senate. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Opposition to the SAVE Act<\/h2>\n<p>Earlier this year, congressional Republicans <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lee.senate.gov\/2024\/5\/lee-and-roy-partner-on-legislation-to-secure-federal-elections\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">introduced<\/a> the SAVE Act, a bill designed to close <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/05\/13\/without-the-save-act-the-only-thing-keeping-foreigners-from-voting-is-the-honor-system\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">existing loopholes<\/a> in federal law that foreign nationals could exploit to register and vote in U.S. elections. <\/p>\n<p>As <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/05\/13\/without-the-save-act-the-only-thing-keeping-foreigners-from-voting-is-the-honor-system\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">highlighted<\/a> by bill co-sponsor and Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, Democrats\u2019 claim the SAVE Act isn\u2019t needed because federal law already prohibits foreign voting in federal elections ignores the fact that there is no enforcement mechanism to prevent this from happening. A 2013 Supreme Court ruling <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/01\/12\/elon-musk-rightly-says-arizona-doesnt-verify-federal-voter-citizenship-but-the-feds-dont-let-them\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">effectively barred<\/a> states from requiring proof of U.S. citizenship when accepting federal voter registration forms. <\/p>\n<p>Since its introduction, Democrats and their <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/05\/22\/ap-admits-noncitizens-vote-in-u-s-elections-while-insisting-its-no-big-deal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">media allies<\/a> have <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/05\/28\/republicans-stay-off-left-wing-networks-unless-youre-prepared-to-go-on-offense\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">worked overtime<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.md\/qV0oW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">smear<\/a> the legislation and downplay its necessity in protecting America\u2019s electoral system from foreign interference. From NBC News to the Associated Press, the web of dishonesty woven by left-wing media activists about the SAVE Act has been nonstop. <\/p>\n<p>Democrat-aligned organizations have also deployed phony talking points to justify their opposition to the bill. <\/p>\n<p>A coalition of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/antifa-blm-vandalize-ice-building-burn-original-starbucks\/\" title=\"Antifa, BLM vandalize ICE building, burn original Starbucks\">left-wing groups<\/a> penned a <a href=\"https:\/\/civilrights.org\/resource\/civil-rights-groups-letter-in-opposition-to-save-act\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">letter<\/a> to ranking members of the House Administration Committee last month, asking the body to reject the SAVE Act. The groups falsely claimed the bill is \u201cunnecessary and dangerous,\u201d and represents \u201cthe most recent example of what has been a string of recent efforts to make voter registration and voting more difficult, particularly for voters of color.\u201d They also outlandishly claimed the SAVE Act \u201cseeks to intimidate members of immigrant communities and communities of color from exercising their lawful right to vote.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of course, these organizations didn\u2019t provide any evidence justifying their ridiculous assertions. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Democrat Confessions<\/h2>\n<p>Beyond their actions, some Democrats have been very public about their goal of providing the ability to vote in U.S. elections to foreign nationals. Case in point: Maryland Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, Fox News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/top-dems-past-push-non-citizen-voting-rights-revealed-ahead-house-vote\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reported<\/a> that Raskin \u2014 who <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/05\/24\/yes-democrats-want-aliens-to-vote-in-u-s-elections-take-jamie-raskins-word-for-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">voted against<\/a> the recently passed GOP bill prohibiting alien voting in D.C. local elections \u2014 authored a <a href=\"https:\/\/digitalcommons.wcl.american.edu\/cgi\/viewcontent.cgi?article=2049&#038;context=facsch_lawrev\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">paper<\/a> for the American University Washington College of Law in 1993, in which he defended \u201cAlien Suffrage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn this Article, I will argue that the current blanket exclusion of noncitizens from the ballot is neither constitutionally required nor historically normal,\u201d Raskin wrote. \u201cMoreover, the disenfranchisement of aliens at the local level is vulnerable to deep theoretical objections since resident aliens\u2014who are governed, taxed, and often drafted just like citizens\u2014have a strong democratic claim to being considered members, indeed citizens, of their local communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Lawfare Against Proof of Citizenship Voting Requirements<\/h2>\n<p>When they\u2019re not smearing Republican-backed election integrity laws with dishonest lies, Democrats are busy weaponizing the legal system to dismantle them. <\/p>\n<p>In July 2022, the Biden Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against Arizona, <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/03\/01\/court-affirms-arizonas-need-to-keep-noncitizens-off-voter-rolls-but-makes-it-harder-to-do-so\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">alleging<\/a> the state\u2019s law requiring residents show proof of citizenship to vote for president is \u201cdiscriminatory\u201d and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/biden-administration-sues-arizona-over-proof-of-citizenship-voter-law-11657057669\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">violates<\/a> the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The suit was one of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.democracydocket.com\/news-alerts\/dnc-and-arizona-democratic-party-sue-over-arizonas-citizenship-requirement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">several<\/a> brought by left-wing groups, as well as the Arizona Democratic Party and the Democratic National Committee. <\/p>\n<p>U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton disagreed with the DOJ\u2019s baseless claims, <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/03\/01\/court-affirms-arizonas-need-to-keep-noncitizens-off-voter-rolls-but-makes-it-harder-to-do-so\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ruling in March<\/a> that \u201cArizona\u2019s interests in preventing non-citizens from voting and promoting public confidence in Arizona\u2019s\u00a0elections outweighs the limited burden voters might encounter when required to provide\u201d documentary proof of citizenship (DPOC). As my colleague Brianna Lyman <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/03\/04\/biden-department-of-justice-declares-war-on-voter-id-and-other-election-security-laws\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">explained<\/a>, Bolton\u2019s decision did, however, hamstring \u201ca handful of the state\u2019s efforts to make its voter rolls more secure.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Bolton] had previously struck down the law requiring DPOC for presidential elections, although her Thursday ruling allowed the state to continue requiring DPOC to register to vote for statewide elections,\u201d Lyman wrote. <\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-d31dfb71388a9ec8456849ba2a2b6ba6 fdrlst__b89e9-after-post-content\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-d31dfb71388a9ec8456849ba2a2b6ba6\"><\/div>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">    \t\t\t\t\t   \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Conservative allegations suggest Democrats aim to grant citizenship and voting rights to millions of undocumented immigrants crossing U.S. borders to secure a perpetual electoral majority.
