Over 13 years, she allegedly traveled between the United States and Guatemala and participated in several elections,\u200b including the Alabama election in 2016 and\u200d others in 2016 \u200band 2020. Francisco reportedly used\u2063 multiple illegally obtained passports during this time. <\/p>\n<p>Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen praised \u200dthe authorities\u2062 for their efforts in capturing\u2064 Francisco and emphasized the need\u200c to address illegal voting comprehensively. The case involves nine federal counts, including voter fraud and aggravated identity theft, and a plea agreement \u2062has been filed.\u2063 <\/p>\n<p>Amid rising concerns over \u2064illegal voting, especially among conservative voters, Allen and other Republicans are advocating for \u2063stricter\u200d voter eligibility\u2064 measures, linking concerns over\u200c election integrity\u200c to\u200c <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-admin-orders-banks-not-to-reject-illegal-immigrants-loan-applications\/\" title=\"Biden Admin instructs banks to accept loan applications from undocumented immigrants.\">broader immigration policy<\/a> changes.

She then used it to travel back-and-forth to her native country of Guatemala and to vote in numerous elections.<\/p>\n<p>This includes an Alabama election in 2016 as well as both primary and general elections in 2016 and 2020. Wasn&rsquo;t it the Democrats who insisted this never happened?<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, they were wrong. 42 year-old Angelica Maria Francisco of Russellville, Alabama, is alleged living proof.<\/p>\n<p>Francisco, who obtained multiple passports illegally, did so over the course of 13 years. It took that long for the woman to be caught.<\/p>\n<p>Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen, a Republican, commended the U.S. State Department&rsquo;s Diplomatic Security Service and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/usao-ndal\/pr\/undocumented-individual-charged-connection-voting-fraud-and-passport-fraud\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S. Attorney&rsquo;s Office in Northern Alabama<\/a> for doing their jobs.

It begs to ask the question, however, &ldquo;How many other illegals are running wild among us, voting freely in our elections, and handing politicians false victories?&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>According to the U.S. Attorney&rsquo;s Office of Northern Alabama&rsquo;s press release, &ldquo;DSS investigated the case, with assistance from the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency, the East Metro Area Crime Center, and the Alabama Secretary of State&rsquo;s Office. Assistant U.S. Attorney Brett A. Janich is prosecuting the case.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The release continues that a plea agreement has been filed, whereby, Francisco plans to plead guilty to false claims made specific to voting, false statements regarding citizenship and passport acquisition, and aggravated identity theft.<\/p>\n<p>There are nine counts in total filed at the federal court level. A date to enter that Francisco&rsquo;s plea is currently being set.<\/p>\n<p>As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/tag\/joe-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">President Biden<\/a> made it that much easier for illegal immigrants to access a path and the means to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/9-key-points-from-trump-campaign-press-conference-on-challenges-to-election-results\/\" title=\"9 Key Points from Trump Campaign Press Conference on Challenges to Election Results\">commit voter fraud<\/a> through the signing of Executive Order 14019 in 2021 and the establishment of the National Voter Registration Act in 1993, Republicans like Allen are fighting back.

To me, it&rsquo;s a no-brainer.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>As concern among conservative voters over how many illegal immigrants are now living within U.S. borders continues to grow, there is equal concern over how many of them came here specifically to vote blue. Whether the number of illegals is 11 million or 72 million, if Francisco&rsquo;s behavior is representative of even a small portion of them, the upcoming 2024 presidential election is in jeopardy.<\/p>\n<p>(Even if Francisco and other of her ilk were to vote Republican &mdash; as if &mdash; illegal immigrants have no place voting in local elections. Period.)<\/p>\n<p>This is especially true given how close the election appears. Voter rolls are a mess. And electronic voting has proven to be questionable at best.<\/p>\n<p>Without the proper measures in place, cheating will find its way in through the back door and our southern border.

She allegedly used this false identity to travel between her home country of Guatemala and the U.S., as well as to vote in several elections, including an Alabama election in 2016 and both primary and general elections in 2016 and 2020. This raises questions about claims made by Democrats that such incidents do not occur. The individual in question, Angelica Maria Francisco, a 42-year-old resident of Russellville, Alabama, reportedly obtained multiple passports illegally over a span of 13 years before being apprehended. Wes Allen, Alabama&#8217;s Secretary of State and a Republican, praised the efforts of the U.S. State Department\u2019s Diplomatic Security Service and the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office for their work on this case. He emphasized that addressing illegal voting is a priority for him both at state and national levels.<\/p>\n<p>Allen expressed his appreciation through Fox News: \u201cI want to thank the U.S. State Department and the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office in Northern Alabama for their diligent efforts investigating and charging this individual&#8230; We will continue to assist law enforcement as they prosecute those who vote illegally.\u201d Many conservative voters likely share his concerns about how many other undocumented immigrants might be participating unlawfully in elections.<\/p>\n<p>The press release noted that various agencies assisted with this investigation, including local law enforcement entities. Francisco is expected to plead guilty to charges related to false voting claims, misrepresentations regarding her citizenship status when obtaining passports, and aggravated identity theft\u2014totaling nine counts at federal court level\u2014with her plea date yet to be determined.<\/p>\n<p>In light of President Biden&#8217;s Executive Order 14019 from 2021 which facilitated access for illegal immigrants regarding voter registration processes\u2014and considering ongoing debates around voter integrity\u2014Republicans like Allen are advocating for stricter measures through legislation known as SAVE (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act). Senators Ted Cruz (TX) and Mike Lee (UT) are working on incorporating this act into upcoming spending bills aimed at preventing government shutdowns.<\/p>\n<p>As concerns grow among conservative voters about illegal immigration&#8217;s impact on electoral integrity\u2014whether there are millions or tens of millions living within borders\u2014the implications could significantly affect future elections like that of 2024 if cases like Francisco&#8217;s reflect broader trends among undocumented populations participating unlawfully in voting processes<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2338861,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/polling-place.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[16097,35667,33009,32645],"class_list":["post-2338860","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-law-enforcement","tag-identity-theft","tag-illegal-immigration","tag-voter-fraud"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/polling-place.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2338860","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2338860"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2338860\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2338861"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2338860"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2338860"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2338860"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
