The false notion that undocumented immigrants affect federal elections has a long history. But this year, due in part to rising migration at the U.S. southern border, the idea could have new potency.

    Is this really a line of reasoning people use? They’ve committed one crime so of course they’ll commit all the crimes?

      Lmfao… I ask what risk there is for the illegal alien (the official name of their status)… and you all go ape-shit on something as stupid as me stating their initial entry into the country was done illegally completely ignoring the actual issue at hand, which is that they have nothing to lose to attempt to vote. Whether they do or don’t, I have no idea. But to claim there’s some risk involved when there definitely isn’t is hilarious.
