SINCE THE DAYS OF SERIAL RAPIST AND SLUT FOR BANKSTERS BILLARY CLINTON THE DEMOCRAT PARTY HAS BEEN HELL BENT ON GETTING ILLEGALS OVER OUR OPEN BORDERS AND INTO AMERICAN JOBS AND VOTING BOOTHS
NYC Democrats Seek to Give Voting Rights to Nearly 1 Million Non-Citizens
Democrats on the New York City Council are eyeing a plan to allow nearly a million non-citizens the ability to vote in local city elections.
The plan, backed by 34 Democrats on the 51-member New York City Council, would allow non-citizens with green cards, visas, and work authorization to vote in city elections so long as they have resided in New York City for at least 30 consecutive days.
The plan indicates that legal immigrants on green cards or an employment visa who have lived in New York City for at least a month would be able to vote for mayor, comptroller, public advocate borough presidents, council members, and changes to city policy.
Ydanis Rodriguez, a Democrat councilmember who represents the Washington Heights neighborhood in Manhattan, told NY1 that “we need to recognize the contributions of our immigrant brothers and sisters” by giving non-citizens city-wide voting rights.
“This is not about doing a favor to immigrants by allowing them to vote,” Rodriguez said. “If they pay their taxes, as I did when I had my green card, then they should have a right to elect their local leaders.”

Councilman Robert Holden, a Democrat who represents the Maspeth neighborhood in Queens, is again opposing the plan, telling the New York Post that “giving non-citizens the right to vote would greatly diminish the value of citizenship, as well as the incentive for immigrants to make the commitment to this country and become citizens.”
“Citizenship and suffrage must not be torn from each other,” Holden said.
Councilman Joe Borelli, a Republican who represents Staten Island, said he believes “citizenship should matter and having someone reside here for 30 days and check some boxes shouldn’t entitle them to vote for the people who will tax us for the next generation.”
Democrats on the New York City Council attempted to pass the plan last year, seeking to give huge electoral power to the city’s 3.1 million foreign-born population — making up almost 40 percent of the total city population.
The majority of the city’s foreign-born population has arrived from the Dominican Republic, China, Mexico, Jamaica, Guyana, Ecuador, and Haiti, Trinidad and Tobago, Bangladesh, and India.

Exclusive—Todd Rokita: GOP Attorneys General Will Stand Up to Democrats’ Election Takeover Attempts
Our Founding Fathers rightfully concluded state legislatures were best suited to determine the length of time, manner, and place of our elections.
But after Democrats took control of Congress, their first order of business was an assault on the integrity of our elections to ensure they remain in power in perpetuity. With their introduction of H.R.1 and S.1, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer sought to federalize elections, ban voter ID, and legalize the practice of ballot trafficking.
If the federal government succeeds in taking power away from “We the people,” then we’re no different than a banana republic, and we’ll never have confidence in our elections again.
When I testified in the U.S. Senate earlier this year against the Democrats’ scheme, I told them, “Should the act become law, I can tell you the sun won’t set in Indiana before we sue the federal government, and I’m sure other states will join.” Fortunately, the American people rejected the Democrats’ first attempt to hand control of elections to partisan bureaucrats as the Senate failed to pass the legislation.
But the battle is not over yet.

Democrats, desperate to solidify their own power and expand the reach and size of the federal government, are proposing a similar scheme, dubbed H.R. 4., which would establish the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) as a national election czar dictating to states exactly how they must administer their elections and choosing which laws they liked and disliked. The Democrats’ goal is to use the DOJ to increase their chances of staying in power.
While Democrats called the measure a compromise, it is anything but. It is the same partisan election takeover but with a different label. Democrats somehow consider it racist and a form of voter suppression to ask voters to provide any form of identification. They have never bothered to explain how asking voters to provide proof of who they are is a form of bigotry, but what could be construed as racist is for Democrats to suggest that a certain group of people either do not have valid forms of ID or are not sophisticated enough to figure out how to obtain one.
Additionally, the Democrats also want to expand ballot trafficking, and they still want to take control away from states and local communities to hand them over to federal bureaucrats.
This new Democrat proposal is a clumsy and heavy-handed effort to circumvent Supreme Court decisions, state sovereignty, and the will of the people. Following the loss of two high-profile U.S. Supreme Court cases – Shelby County v. Holder and Brnovich v. DNC – Democrats won’t be deterred even after hearing their ideas are unconstitutional.
Fortunately, constitution-defending Attorneys General are prepared once again to defend the rule-of-law, free and fair elections, and the authority of states and localities to run their own elections.
I was proud to lead the efforts that stopped the Democrats’ first attempt at a federal takeover of elections, and I’m honored to champion that effort again as 23 Attorneys General have signed onto a letter I piloted urging Congress to reject this disastrous piece of legislation.

This mission is core to who we are as a democratic republic: one that has free and fair elections and where the will of the people reigns supreme. This is why, when I served as Indiana’s Secretary of State, we implemented voter ID, making it harder to cheat and easier to vote. Since then, other states followed our lead, and Indiana’s voter participation numbers have continued to climb. Commonsense election security works and is widely supported, which is exactly what Democrats are seeking to undermine.
Joe Biden and congressional Democrats failed to sell their federal takeover of elections the first time around because Americans made their voices heard, and I believe Americans will reject this unconstitutional partisan power-grab again.
The Democrats didn’t design their so-called “John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act” in good faith to protect Americans’ votes or to expand voting access for minorities as they dishonestly claim.
They designed it for one reason, so that Democrats in Washington could federalize elections, take power away from the states, and make it easier to cheat.
I will gladly go to any court and any mountaintop with other Attorneys General to ensure we can have confidence in our elections again.
Todd Rokita is the 44th Attorney General of Indiana.
CIVIL WAR II WILL BE TO END THE DEMOCRAT PARTY'S ASSAULT ON MIDDLE AMERICAN WAGES BY SABOTAGING HOMELAND SECURITY TO TURN AMERICAN INTO A THIRD-WORLD DUMPSTER STATE OF 'CHEAP' DEM VOTING 'CHEAP' LABOR
Obama-Appointed Judge: Florida’s ‘Discriminatory’ Ban on Sanctuary Cities Is Unconstitutional
A judge has ruled that Florida’s ban on sanctuary cities, which shield criminal illegal aliens from arrest and deportation, is unconstitutional because it is discriminatory.
Judge Beth Bloom, appointed by former President Obama, permanently enjoined the law signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) in June 2019 that banned Florida cities and counties from protecting criminal illegal aliens from federal immigration law carried out by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency.
“Defendants are permanently enjoined from enforcing Fla. Stat. § 908.103 and Fla. Stat. § 908.104 because these statutory provisions are unconstitutional,” Bloom wrote in a ruling issued this week.
The city of South Miami, along with pro-sanctuary groups, filed the lawsuit in June 2019.
Bloom also ruled unconstitutional a provision of the sanctuary city ban that allows local and state law enforcement agencies to transport criminal illegal aliens wanted by ICE to federal facilities around the state or outside the state:
Consistent with the Court’s Omnibus order on the parties’ cross-motions for summary judgment, Defendants are PERMANENTLY ENJOINED from enforcing the Transport Requirement, Fla. Stat. § 908.104(4), because this statutory provision is preempted by federal immigration law and is therefore unconstitutional. [Emphasis added]
As part of her ruling, Bloom accuses DeSantis and Florida Republican Party Chairman State Sen. Joe Gruters (R) of having “discriminatory motives” in their efforts to pass the sanctuary city ban:
Here, prior to SB 168’s enactment, there was a rise in proactive policing measures addressing immigration issues across the country, which was fueled in part by the perpetuation of an immigrant threat narrative and the need to crack down on undocumented immigrants. Indeed, similar immigration enforcement bills had been presented in the 2017 and 2018 legislative sessions but had ultimately failed. Notably, then-Representative Gruters had been in favor of these prior anti-sanctuary bills. [Emphasis added]
…
Similarly, while running for his current position, Governor DeSantis also perpetuated the immigrant threat narrative through his campaign advertisements, which depicted him building a wall with his son, and his public statements associating “illegal immigrants” with “lawlessness” and voicing his support for eliminating sanctuary jurisdictions. [Emphasis added]
DeSantis’s office said they will be appealing Bloom’s decision.
“We disagree with the ruling of the Obama judge and we expect to win on appeal,” Taryn Fenske, a spokesperson for DeSantis, told the Miami Herald.
The case is South Miami v. DeSantis, No. 1:19-cv-22927-BB in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida.

Two Afghans Brought to U.S. Charged with Child Sex Crimes, Strangling Wife While Living on WI Military Base
Two Afghan men, brought to the United States as part of President Joe Biden’s massive resettlement operation out of Afghanistan, have been charged with child sex crimes and domestic abuse while temporarily living at Fort McCoy in Wisconsin.
On Wednesday, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced federal charges against Afghans Bahrullah Noori, 20-years-old, and Mohammad Haroon Imaad, 32-years-old.
According to prosecutors, Noori is accused of trying to forcefully engage in sexual acts with a minor while temporarily living at Fort McCoy since being brought to the U.S. with tens of thousands of other Afghans. Noori has also been charged with three counts of engaging in a sexual act with a minor and one count alleging the use of force.
An indictment against Noori states that his victims were under the age of 16 and were at least four years younger than him.
In a separate incident, Imaad is accused by prosecutors of strangling and suffocating his wife while temporarily living at Fort McCoy after arriving in the U.S. from Afghanistan. The alleged assault apparently took place on September 7.
Both Noori and Imaad appeared in court in Madison, Wisconsin, on September 16 to face the charges against them and are currently being detained at the Dane County Jail. Their immigration statuses, whether they arrived as refugees, Special Immigrant Visa-holders (SIVs), P-2 visa-holders, or parolees remains unclear.
Noori is facing a mandatory minimum of 30 years in prison and a maximum sentence of life in prison. Imaad is facing a maximum of 10 years in prison.
