    Voters Strongly Reject Letting Illegal Immigrants Vote

    Voters Strongly Reject Letting Illegal Immigrants Vote

    Monday, March 07, 2016

    A proposal has been made in New York City to allow illegal immigrants to vote for mayor and other top city officials.
    But voters continue to strongly oppose allowing illegal immigrants to vote at all and adamantly reject a plan like the
    one in New York City for their hometown.

    Seventy-one percent (71%) of Likely U.S. Voters oppose letting illegal immigrants vote for local officials in the area
    where they live. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 19% favor such a proposal, while
    10% are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

    Sixty-seven percent (67%) say illegal immigrants should not be allowed to vote even if they can prove that they live
    in this country and pay taxes. That’s up from 60% when Rasmussen Reports first asked this question in May of last year.
    Twenty-six percent (26%) still believe tax-paying illegal immigrants should be permitted to vote, down from 35%.

    Republicans (80%) and voters not affiliated with either of the major political parties (70%) are even more opposed to
    illegal immigrants voting than there were last year. But now most Democrats agree. Last May, Democrats by a 53% to
    42% margin were in favor of allowing tax-paying illegal immigrants to vote. Now, those numbers are reversed, with
    voters in President Obama’s party opposed by a 52% to 39% margin.

    Most voters across the partisan spectrum also oppose the New York City proposal, although again Republicans (86%)
    and unaffiliated voters (71%) are more strongly opposed than Democrats (57%) are.

    Majorities of voters across nearly all demographic categories oppose letting illegal immigrants vote, especially in the
    area where they live.

    Women and those under 40 are more supportive of allowing illegal immigrants to vote than men and older voters are.

    Interestingly, most black and other minority voters oppose allowing illegal immigrants to vote for local officials where
    they live, but they’re almost evenly divided when it comes to the idea of illegal immigrants in general voting. Roughly
    three-out-of-four whites are opposed in both cases.

    Among those who believe voters should be required to show photo identification before casting their ballot, 77%
    oppose allowing illegal immigrants to vote. Just 47% of those who oppose a photo ID requirement agree.

    Thirty percent (30%) of all voters think it’s already too easy to vote in the United States, while just 19% say it’s too
    hard. A plurality (46%) thinks the level of difficulty is about right. Just over half of voters oppose an automatic voter
    registration plan for their state like one recently proposed in Maryland.

    Most voters continue to favor stricter border control over granting legal status to those already here illegally and
    believe amnesty will just encourage more illegal immigration.

    Most also still believe the federal government is not interested in stopping illegal immigration, and support for state
    rather than federal enforcement of immigration laws is now at its highest level in several years
    .

    The survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted on March 2-3, 2016 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling
    error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is
    conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.

    Most voters still think their fellow Americans need to prove their identity before votin
    and don’t believe photo ID laws
    discriminate against some voters.

    We at the Tea Party Immigration Coalition have long thought and warned that the Dems will give the illegals the vote. They have done so already in AT LEAST 11 STATES.
    If we don't stop them, the ILLEGAL ALIENS WILL VOTE!
    They are the reason Obama got elected in 2008. Millions of them voted for Obama.
    Now, with some 45 to 55 million illegals here, they represent the margin of victory for the democrats. If they(as we suspect they will) nominate someone like Luis Gutierrez for Vice President, they will come out in droves. Enough, anyway, to insure that Hillary will get elected. Just imagine 10 million more votes for the Democrats.

    We must stop them.
    Nominating Trump is only part of the battle.
    If Obama's justice department wins, it could be all over for America.
