Why we have to elect Republican Senators:
He said that there are some estimates that tens of thousands of non-citizens vote in federal elections.
Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) proposed a bill on Thursday that would make it a deportable crime for illegal immigrants and non-citizens to vote in federal elections.
"While this may sound bizarre to a lot of folks in Washington, illegal aliens and non-citizens have no constitutional right to vote in American elections," Vitter said Thursday. He said that there are some estimates that tens of thousands of non-citizens vote in federal elections, and most Americans agree it is "common sense" to prevent them from voting.
"My bill injects some of that common sense and puts teeth into voter laws so we can uphold the integrity of American elections," he added. "Of course we want immigrants to become voters once they become citizens, but our election system and our right to vote are being taken advantage of because of weak enforcement."
