Thousands of non-citizens
are registered to vote in some states,
and tens if not hundreds of thousands in total
may be present on the voter rolls nationwide.
These numbers are significant :
Local elections are often decided
by only a handful of votes, and even
national elections have likely been within
the margin of the number of non-citizens
illegally registered to vote," said
Hans A. von Spakovsky, a researcher
at the Heritage Foundation.
"There is no reliable method
to determine the number of non-citizens
registered or actually voting because most
laws to ensure that only citizens vote are
ignored, are inadequate, or are systematically
undermined by government officials.
Those who ignore the implications
of non-citizen registration and voting
either are willfully blind to the problem
or may actually favor this form of illegal
voting," said Spakovsky, an expert on the
subject of illegal aliens and immigration law,
during an interview on Fox News Channel.
As far as felons,
US Attorneys are required
to notify state election officials
of federal felony convictions, but
the information is not always easy
for election officials to interpret or
complete, according to New Jersey
GOP strategist Janice Martin.
"Americans would be shocked
to discover that hundreds of thousands
of general election voters are illegal aliens,
green-card immigrants, and criminals who've
murdered, raped and robbed US citizens.
And guess which political party
benefits the most from their votes?
The one that's pushing for amnesty
and a bag full of free goodies," said Martin.
Dr. von Spakovsky
believes many government
officials and politicians are
complicit in the voter fraud problem

The route taken by the State of Arizona's
enactment of Senate Bill 1070, is far less
severe than it could have been if the route
taken had been war, as granted to the states
by the U.S. Constitution.
Article 1, Section 10, Cl. 3
of the Constitution of the United States
of America provides that "[n]o state shall,
without the consent of Congress ... engage
in War, unless actually invaded, or in such
imminent Danger as will not admit of delay."
This section of the U.S. Constitution
gives to the State of Arizona (or any
other State) the right to engage in war
if "actually invaded" or if there is "such
imminent Danger as will not admit of delay."
This right is reserved
to the states to be exercised
without the necessity of obtaining
the consent of Congress in the described
exigent circumstances.
Without question,
the debate, should Arizona have chosen
this road not heretofore taken, would have
centered on the meaning of the terms
"invaded" and "imminent danger."
Those are, in fact, arguable issues.
But if drug lords are posting
sentries with AK-47s on hilltops
inside the State of Arizona to protect
drug transport routes, and if "coyotes"
are ravaging the fragile Arizona desert
with their never-ending human chains,
then the debate is settled
