There are 12 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. Most of them live in one of the 250 “sanctuary cities” (and 3 sanctuary states, Oregon, Maine and New Mexico) where it is unlawful to ask about a person’s immigration status for any reason.
What’s to keep these people from registering to vote? Once they’re registered to vote they can get called up for jury duty. How many convicted felons would go free if it became known there were non-citizens on their jury?
Many major cities are sanctuary cities – New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston, Phoenix, San Francisco, Denver, Miami, New Orleans, Chicago, Baltimore, Reno, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Charlotte, Tulsa, Austin, Salt Lake City and Washington DC.
Consider the recent elections. Everybody on both sides of the isle said it was going to be a real squeaker. Every poll, every pundit, every politician. We were going to be up all night waiting for the electoral college decision. Some even said it would be so close in many states that there would be a recount, and it would be weeks before we knew who our next president would be.
It was over almost before it began. It wasn’t a landslide, but it sure wasn’t close. Fox News fired Karl Rove and Dick Morris, both of whom were honestly projecting a solid Republican victory. The Republican party has been in a tail spin ever since. Some pundits are saying the party will be extinct before the next election cycle.
Consider the important swing states in the electoral college: Florida, Colorado, Virginia, Nevada and New Mexico. They all have large Hispanic populations. Which means they have large illegal immigrant populations, too.
All these early swing states were in a dead heat on election eve. They were all called before dinnertime on election day. How could the hundreds of polls be totally wrong? How could all the experts, who based their projections on these polls, be so wrong?
There’s only one possible explanation. The Democrats consistently get 80% of the Hispanic vote. So it’s logical that they would get at least 80% of the illegal immigrant vote. Most people say there are 12 million illegal aliens in the U.S. Some estimates are as high as 20 or 30 million.
Many of these illegals have been in the U.S. for years, and most are of voting age. There are no voter ID laws (the Democrats blocked efforts to enforce them in Texas, Florida, Mississippi and many other jurisdictions), and often all you need is a utility bill to register to vote.
Clearly, these illegals believe they have every right to full U.S. citizenship, judging by their widespread efforts on behalf of universal amnesty or some facsimile thereof. This has been a heated topic over the last four years, and undoubtedly they were anxious to vote.
Obama won by only 3 million votes total. The margin of victory was a fraction of that in the swing states. Even if only 10% of illegals voted that would have been all she wrote.
Back to the original premise of this story: Illegals serving on jury duty. This would void tens of thousands of convictions nationwide. It would spell chaos for the criminal justice system.
It’s not hard at all to see how politicians would be anxious to avoid this calamity and, in a distorted kind of logic, be anxious to grant citizenship to all the illegals before anybody digs into the numbers and starts asking tough questions.
Lady Justice is in some kind of hurt.
