Democrats’ SAVE Act opposition: Letters – Latest News
The Issue: Democrats talking out in opposition to the SAVE America Act, which might require ID to vote.
I don’t know who Sen. Chuck Schumer and his minions suppose they’re fooling, chanting “Jim Crow 2.0” any time the SAVE America Act comes up (“Voter-ID Lies,” Libby Emmons, PostOpinion, Feb. 10).
The SAVE Act is supported by north of 80% of the American people of all races and creeds, however Schumer and company act like requiring an ID at polling locations is “racist.”
Any confusion about what’s actually occurring was dispelled when Virginia Democrats started pushing a law that might ban ICE from polling locations. ICE brokers arrest unlawful aliens, so why would you need to ban them from polling locations?
Clearly, unlawful immigrants are voting in blue states. That’s what that is all about.

I’m amazed on the ridiculousness of former President Obama’s speech, and plenty of others echoing the identical ideas, after he said that voter-ID will serve to disenfranchise Americans. All of these statements are nonsense.

I merely can’t perceive Democrats defending immigrants over American residents, giving all of them the privileges of residents, together with Social Security advantages, taxpayer-funded day care and the power to vote. This is ridiculous; solely American residents ought to have the suitable to vote and this should be verified by ID.
Is Trump Derangement Syndrome driving these mendacity hypocrites? Or is their thirst for energy driving them to keep the borders open to garner more votes?
