While I completely understand how having government representatives and the media perpetuating such a belief can create reasonable alarm, there are already many laws and safeguards in place that proficiently prevent non-citizens from voting in US elections. According to CNN, "The conservative Heritage Foundation — which argues there are too many vulnerabilities in the US election system — has documented a total of 25 instances of prosecution for voter fraud in which citizenship was an issue over more than 20 years." I hardly see one vote per year qualifying for prosecution on the grounds of voter fraud due to a lack of citizenship as a problem. Let alone a problem worth spending millions of dollars (or more) of taxpayer money on, lying about to create unsubstantiated fear and promote racism, and potentially stripping millions of eligible voters of their rights. Please know that I'm not trying to be adversarial, my goal is merely to share correct information that may assuage worry and help all of us attain greater understanding.
