Starting April 1, Illegals in California Can Vote – Legally

Immigrants jumping a border fence for illegal entry.

Starting on April 1, 2018, illegal immigrants in California who have obtained state driver’s licenses due to a recent change in state law, or who got them before that by lying about their immigration status, will automatically be registered to vote.Yes, you read that correctly: Immigrants illegally in the United States, perhaps millions of them, living in the nation’s largest state will soon be automatically registered to vote.

Since January 2015 according to the California DMV, AB-60, a law passed by the California Assembly, “allows illegal immigrants to the United States to apply for a California driver’s license with the CA Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV)” [emphasis original].

As of December 2016, more than 800,000 California driver’s licenses were issued to illegal immigrants under the AB-60 law. More than one year has passed since that initial estimate was offered. Additional tens of thousands of illegals may have been granted licenses prior to 2015 because they lied on their driver’s license application forms and claimed that they were in the country legally. (In recent years, California’s DMV has not required proof of legal residency from a person applying for a driver’s license.)

An editorial in the Victorville Daily Press on January 22 summarized the situation:

According to the Secretary of State’s website, in order to vote in California one must be at least 18 years old, a United States citizen and a resident of California.

But a court settlement Jan. 10 in response to a suit filed by the League of Women Voters [and several other groups including The National Council of La Raza] may have pushed open the door to rampant voter fraud in this state. That’s because under the settlement, starting in April the Department of Motor Vehicles will automatically register to vote all those who renew their driver’s licenses unless they opt out.

California Political Review and Courthouse News first broke the story of illegals being allowed to vote on January 18 in an article titled “Alert: Starting April 1 California DMV Will AUTOMATICALLY Register Illegal Aliens to Vote—by COURT ORDER:”

The program is part of AB 1461, dubbed the California New Motor Voter Act. Signed into law in October 2015, the new statute requires the DMV to forward records for all eligible applicants to the Secretary of State’s Office for registration unless those applicants elect not to register to vote.

As of this writing, WND, claiming an “exclusive,” is the only major publication to have highlighted this development in a brief story on January 21, “California to register illegal aliens to vote – automatically.”
Some of the illegal immigrant “DREAMers.”

On October 11, 2015, the day after California Gov. Jerry Brown signed AB 1461 into law, the Washington Times, in an article titled “California motor-voter law will flood rolls with noncitizens, critics predict,” indeed predicted accurately what is now coming to pass 2½ years later:

A bill signed Saturday by California Gov. Jerry Brown aimed at improving voter turnout has critics predicting that it will ramp up voter fraud by making it easier for noncitizens to cast ballots.

The New Motor Voter Act automatically registers to vote all eligible voters when they obtain or renew their driver’s licenses at the Department of Motor Vehicles instead of requiring them to fill out a form. Those eligible may opt out of voter registration.

The goal is to ease barriers to voting, but election-integrity advocates warn that the measure could inadvertently add millions of illegal voters to the rolls given that California allows undocumented aliens to obtain driver’s licenses.

The move to legalize non-citizen – including “undocumented” residents’ – voting is slowly spreading nationwide. In 2016, immigrant activists in New York City endorsed a legislative proposal to allow immigrants residing in the city – legal or not – the right to vote in local elections. In reporting the story, the New York Post estimated that 500,000 illegal aliens reside in New York City. This change has not yet been formally approved, however. Meanwhile, according to Newsweek (September 13, 2017), “Immigrants Are Getting the Right to Vote in Cities Across America.” The occasion for Newsweek’s article was the decision last year by the Washington, D.C. suburb of College Park, Maryland to allow non-citizens, including illegals, to vote:

Several other cities in Maryland already allow noncitizens to vote locally. Chicago and San Francisco also offer limited noncitizen voting. The trend runs counter to the anti-immigration sentiment in many areas of the country, but supporters say residents of cities and towns should have a say in how their government operates, whether they are citizens or not.

The difference in what California is now doing is that illegals who vote in that state can cast their ballots in all elections – local, state, and federal including for president of the United States. In recent years, California has appeared less like a U.S. state and more like the crown jewel in the reconquista movement. Reconquista is “a term that is used to describe the vision by different individuals, groups, and/or nations that the U.S. Southwest should be politically or culturally conquered by Mexico.”

A 2015 article in Telesur, “The Reconquista: Latinos Now Outnumber Whites in California,” celebrated the fact that:

After losing California to the United States in the Invasion of Mexico in 1847, Latinos appear to be claiming back California in a paradoxical shift in history, as they now officially outnumber non-Hispanic whites in the state, the U.S. Census Bureau confirmed Wednesday.

Confirming a long-expected demographic shift, the Census Bureau released late June that as of July 1, 2014, about 14.99 million Latinos live in California, outgrowing the 14.92 million non-Hispanic whites in the state.

As the census figures attest, in recent years, with an acceleration during the past decade (due to increased illegal immigration and a high birth rate), California’s demographics have been completely transformed. Once the home of a vibrant Republican party, California’s current deep blue one-party Democrat leadership is pro-open borders and has declared California the first “sanctuary state.” The second most powerful Democrat official in the state, the boss of the legislature Kevin de León, according to “Making California Mexico Again,” an eye-opening January 18 article in FrontPage Mag, “authored the state’s sanctuary legislation that has made false-documented illegals, even criminals, a privileged, protected class.” Recently, de León boasted publicly that half of his large family living in the United States could be deported for using falsified Social Security cards and other fake identification.

The success of radical left wing and Latino groups in gaining wider political support for the expansion of illegal immigrant “rights” to include voting has also been reflected in the government shutdown of recent days. The Washington Times analyzed “this stunning display of political leverage” by illegal immigrant “DREAMers” in an article on January 21:

Democrats called it the Trump shutdown. Republicans labeled it the Schumer shutdown. But in reality, it was the DREAMer shutdown.

The recipe for the current congressional gridlock is complex, but at the top of the list of ingredients are the illegal immigrant DREAMers who pushed Democrats to launch the filibuster that sent the government careening into a partial shutdown.

The political muscle demonstrated by illegals reflected in the national political debate about amnesty is being increasingly taken note of. The complementary impact of millions of them potentially voting legally in U.S. elections as a de facto reconquista bloc in the near term is less apparent but it deserves our serious attention for what it portends.
