The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I've shown you one. I've also shown you the mechanism by which it can be done in Arizona.

That's not what he asked you. He asked you for any proof that liberals say that illegals never vote - that this is a position that liberals actually take. As opposed to the position that Lapsody and I have said, which is that "it's illegal for illegals to vote, and if it occurs it's tiny and not outcome determinative."

Nor does Arizona provide any mechanism "by which it can be done," because every state is prohibited from asking for proof of citizenship for voter registration - by federal statute. Arizona's just the only state that's tried to get around that by creating a separate, "state-only" tranche of voter registrations and demanding proof of citizenship for that tranche. I honestly don't know why you keep hammering on Arizona, since Arizona has (arguably) the most restrictive registration regulations - I can only assume that some conservative pundit latched onto the two-tranche framework and didn't understand what it actually did, and this has become some kind of talking point. Which is deeply ironic, because the AZ is a regulation that immigration hawks ought to be promoting as a model, but instead it's regarded with deep suspicion.

And as I've mentioned several times in this thread, the "one" that you think you've shown us doesn't appear to be an illegal alien. There's no indication that I can find anywhere that this woman was illegal. I ask again - do you know of any reason to think that she is here illegally?
