(The Guardian) Back in Washington DC, Donald Trump’s allies are seeking passage of legislation to bar non-citizens from voting in federal elections – which is illegal already. If you are wondering why they are bothering with it, the Guardian’s Peter Stone has the answer: Dozens of Donald Trump’s allies and election denialists, including extremists like lawyer Cleta Mitchell and ex-adviser Stephen Miller, are promoting a bill to bar non-citizens from voting in federal elections, even though it’s already illegal and evidence that non-citizens have voted in federal races is almost nil.

The push for the bill is seen as further evidence of extremist tactics used by ex-president Trump and his Maga movement to rev up his base of supporters for the 2024 election with outlandish claims designed to scaremonger over election fraud and far-right rhetoric detached from reality.

It also fits a pattern, that many Trump allies appear to be laying the groundwork for false complaints of election fraud should Trump suffer electoral defeat again in 2024 – raising fears that the US could see a civic crisis similar to what followed the 2020 contest when his allies attacked the Capitol in Washington DC.

The legislation’s rationale, which Trump touted at a Mar-a-Lago event with the House speaker, Mike Johnson, last month, has drawn sharp criticism from voting experts and even some Republicans.
 
Trump has a plan for America alright...

If you aren't a citizen but live here and contribute to society (have a job, a home, pay taxes, etc) and have been doing so for several years they should just make you a citizen and then you can vote.

I think that's what Biden's trying to do. He's leaving the door at the border open and saying "come on in, become apart of America", but Texas and Florida doesn't like that. Biden wants everyone to have a shot at becoming Americans.

But people are wanting to look at it Trump's way and run those people off and keep them out. Honestly those people don't have to. Society here in America is hard enough as it is. If they can't find work and pay for their own upkeep, they'll be forced to move on. They may just go back to Mexico or be deported eventually because it's not working out for them. A lot of Mexican illegals are discovering that the American Dream is a bs lie. That just as many people here in the USA struggle as much as people over in Mexico do.
 
Its' like the dead supposedly voting in Chicago - a non-existent problem ginned up to allow for voter supression.
