Texas sues Biden administration for not providing data on noncitizens.
Texas sues Biden administration for not providing data on noncitizens.
Attorney General Ken Paxton accused the federal government of failing to provide citizenship data for registered voters, even as he acknowledged that the vast majority of the people on the rolls are lawful voters.
You're viewing a single thread.
They must be panicking because they've found so few instances of illegal immigrants voting that even their delusional supporters won't buy it. If they had found a couple thousand they could probably spin it as "these are the ones we found, there's probably tens of thousands we haven't!", but I bet they've only been able to find less than a hundred so now they're looking for a scapegoat to blame their failure on.
They're just in the phase of making bullshit requests and lawsuits without evidence so they can rile up the base about Biden being a party to voter fraud.
I can’t imagine why an illegal immigrant would want to vote. The whole thing is ludicrous.
I know many citizens who think voting is ludicrous. The system is broken and it's definitely not the fault of illegal immigrants.
it just endangers them to be found. it's ridiculous. illegals want to lay low. they are not the trouble makers right wingers paint them to be
They also pay taxes without receiving benefits.
Voters are convinced they're "stealing" benefits and politicians know the score. Yet another reason we'll never meaningfully deal with immigration.
"No taxation without representation" exception list (updated 2024):
- Non-Citizen Residents
- Residents of all
colonies"territories" (including DC) - Ex-Cons

You should add residents of Washington DC to your list
Done. I knew I was forgetting something, and probably still am.
Do our territories pay tax? It looks like they do.. and they definitely have no representation (non-voting delegates, non-autonomy, the only thing they get is the ability to raise issues and vote on committees, and frankly that’s nothing.)
Right? Like, that's your thing right? Stealing money from people? How does this part not excite you? Do you even realize that this is happening?
I'll bet they can't find one illegally cast vote that was counted. People talk like it's really uncommon. No, it's so uncommon it never happens. I read some research that was done over a ten year period and they found less that 40 cases of vote fraud, almost none of which were for national office, and none of which had ever affected an outcome.
Vote fraud in the US it's effectively zero.
with all this projection, some one should check Ted Cruz's immigration status.
Just saying. maybe we can deport him back to Canada.
maybe we can deport him back to Canada.
Nope, fuck that, shoot him into the sun, we've got enough rightwing nutjobs in Canada.
Strand him in an airport. Never to be released into either country. Always waiting for a flight to Cancun that keeps getting delayed forever.
I like this.
You sure? We could make it an "art" exhibit if we sent him there directly from Texas. We could even make it a symbol of peace like the statue of Liberty. Call it "the big splat" or something.
The Trebuchet of Yeet.
Alright, if you can get a trebuchet built strong enough to fire him at least to the border from Texas, you may send him back....but only by trebuchet
Aww, don't you think PP needs a friend?
Seriously, we don't want him back. Totally agree, "One of these days Teddy, one of these days.To the sun."
I think we should pull a Simpsons and load both of em and all their little intolerant friends on a rocket and straight into the sun with em!
They won't be panicking. They made up the lie that non citizens are voting, they know it's not true.
They fail to realize the calls are coming from inside their house
I, for one, welcome the Republican scrutiny on voter fraud so that we can finally find and address the cases of Republican voter fraud.
That would be funny to watch them realise in real time that they are the baddies they fear. Sadly I doubt it would last more than .0000000000001 of a second, team politics
