Illegal aliens canvassing votes for dems.

SEATTLE -- When Maria Gianni is knocking on voters' doors, she's not bashful about telling people she is in the country illegally. She knows it's a risk to advertise to strangers that she's here illegally - but one worth taking in what she sees as a crucial election.

The 42-year-old is one of dozens of volunteers - many of them illegal immigrants - canvassing neighborhoods in the Seattle area trying to get naturalized citizens to cast a ballot for candidates like Democratic Sen. Patty Murray, who is in a neck-to-neck race with Republican Dino Rossi.

Pramila Jayapal, head of OneAmerica Votes, says the campaign is about empowering immigrants who may not feel like they can contribute to a campaign because they can't vote.

"Immigrants really do matter," Jayapal said. "If we can't vote ourselves, we're gonna knock on doors, or get family members to vote."

So far the illegal immigrants going door-to-door aren't meeting opposition. Craig Keller, an organizer for Respect WA, a group pushing for stricter immigration law in the Washington, said he doesn't mind illegal immigrants volunteering for vote drives, he just wants to make sure mistakes on the voter rolls don't allow them to vote.

"Anybody can go out and wave a sign, but when it comes to who's making the choices, there's no question they need to be citizens," Keller said.

In close elections across the country, the immigrant and minority vote is considered key for candidates, especially Democrats.

Now if illegal aliens are actually voting or involved in our electoral process, could not that be considered a foreign agent?

Again Mexico is sending people to California to help the illegals find ways to stay here.

But somehow Russia is more of a threat?

Everyday there is something more asinine than the day before.

i have some advice for this stupid Patty Murray, how about you use your position to advocate for some poor Americans trapped in disgusting ghettos in inner cities who need good jobs, more training and educational opportunities and redevelopment of many of their neighborhoods. How about having some heart for rural Americans who haven't had a good job in 20 years because the manufacturing plant they worked in closed down and went offshore or fired all their American workers and hired oh wait, lookey here: illegal aliens.
