Keep in mind that citizenship is really no barrier to voting. Some of these people could actually vote in 2020. Judicial Watch estimates at least 900,000 aliens illegally voted in the midterm elections.

MEXICAN NATIONAL CONVICTED OF ILLEGAL VOTING IN USA
False-documented illegal voted in five federal elections from 2012 to 2016.
August 28, 2019
Last Friday in Sacramento, a federal jury found Mexican national Gustavo Araujo Lerma guilty of identity theft, passport fraud and five counts of voting by an alien. The case proved unusual in several ways, including the timing
According to the U.S. Attorney, Lerma was born in Mexico in 1955 and in the early 1990s, “acquired and began fraudulently using the identity of a United States citizen named Hiram Velez. Lerma used the Velez identity to unlawfully obtain U.S. passports and to vote in federal elections.” The Diplomatic Security Service of the U.S. State Department uncovered the fraud.
Ripping off the identity of the dead, dramatized in The Day of The Jackal, is a crime that predates the computer age. That was well underway in the 1990s, so legitimate citizens might wonder why it took so long to bag Lerma. Once he had stolen the identity of Hiram Velez, the Mexican compounded the crime.
He remarried his Mexican wife in Los Angeles so she and his children could gain legal resident status. Lerma also voted illegally for the past 20 years, including federal elections from 2012 to 2016.
During the trial, Lerma claimed he didn’t know where and when he was born because he was found on the streets of San Antonio at the age of five. The Mexican national also claimed he was a supporter of President Trump, and contributed to the Republican party. In media accounts the defendant emerged as an “Avowed Trump Supporter,” so the establishment media was willing to accept the Mexican’s testimony as truthful. The jury wasn’t and found the identity thief guilty on all counts.
The Mexican national faces a mandatory two years in prison for aggravated identity theft, a maximum of 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for passport fraud, and a maximum of one year in prison and a $250,000 fine for each count of voting by an alien. The voter-fraud charge is of particular interest in California.
By the reckoning of attorney general Xavier Becerra, once on Hillary Clinton’s short list as a running mate, there are more than 10 million “immigrants,” government code for illegals, in California. The state DMV “motor voter” program put one million “new” voters on the rolls by 2018.
According to secretary of state Alex Padilla, there were only six “inadvertently registered” for last year’s midterms and none was guilty of “fraudulently voting or attempting to vote.” After the 2016 election, Padilla refused to release any voter information to a federal voter-fraud probe.
So the number of fraudulent votes, like those of identity thief Gustavo Araujo Lerma, could easily run into the millions. As another federal agency shows, uncovering false documents is not a difficult matter.
In 2017, Mexican nationals calling themselves Hugo Mejia and Rodrigo Nuñez came to work on a hospital at Travis Air Force Base near Fairfield, California. When base security personnel scanned the Mexicans’ ID numbers, “the information came back false.” Travis officials immediately summoned U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and both false-documented illegals were taken into custody. In similar style, cross-checking passport applications with birth and death records can now be accomplished swiftly, with good reason.
“Document and benefit fraud poses a severe threat to national security and public safety,” ICE explains, “because it creates a vulnerability that may enable terrorists, criminals and illegal aliens to gain entry to and remain in the United States.” Gustavo Araujo Lerma demonstrates document fraud and benefit fraud is “the misrepresentation or omission of facts on an application to obtain an immigration benefit one is not entitled to, such as U.S. citizenship, political asylum or a valid visa.”
As with Gustavo Araujo, the DOJ needs to confirm how many false-documented illegals are voting in federal, state and local elections. Maybe some illegals are even running for office.
The Mexican Lerma claimed he didn’t know where and when he was born. This recalls the claim of former California senate boss Kevin de Leon, whose name on voter rolls is Kevin Alexander Leon, that his father was a Chinese cook born in Guatemala. The mysterious De Leon, who acknowledges that half his family practiced document fraud, failed in his bid to replace U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein last year.
That makes a case for ironclad candidate identification, as well as voter identification. As Democrats are fond of saying, nobody is above the law.
Meanwhile, on November 26, U.S. District Judge John A. Mendez, an appointee of George H.W. Bush, will pass sentence on convicted identity thief and illegal voter Gustavo Araujo Lerma. Legal immigrants, legal voters, and legitimate citizens across the country have good cause to watch closely.
In 2018, Mendez, ruled against a U.S. Department of Justice request to block Senate Bill 54, California’s sanctuary law. Authored by Kevin de Leon, SB 54 is the measure that has made false-documented illegals like Gustavo Araujo Lerma a privileged, protected class in California.
CALIFORNIA DMV GIVES ILLEGAL VOTERS A

“New” and “underrepresented” voters could spell victory for leftist
Democrats in November.
CALIFORNIA DMV GIVES ILLEGAL VOTERS A
SURGE
“New” and “underrepresented” voters could spell victory for leftist
Democrats in November.
September
12, 2018
Last week
California’s Department of Motor
Vehicles sent 23,000 “erroneous” voter registrations to the office of
Secretary of State Alex Padilla, who maintains the list of registered voters.
The DMV blamed it technical errors and said none of the erroneous registrations
involved undocumented immigrants. Padilla was “extremely disappointed and
deeply frustrated” and the DMV assured him it wouldn’t happen again.
Legitimate voters have
good reason to believe Padilla was not disappointed but delighted. The odds are
strong that illegals make up most if not all of the newly registered voters.
The registrations of illegals will be happening again, in greater numbers, as
the November election approaches.
The day after the 23,000
registrations made news, it emerged that from late April to early August,
the DMV registered 182,000
“new voters,” with the largest number, 112,000, choosing “no party.”
Neither the DMV nor Padilla would explain the numbers but the trend is evident
and all by design.
Under a 2015 voter
registration law, the DMV automatically registered to vote those who obtain or
renew a California driver’s license. As Padilla told the Los
Angeles Times, “We’ve built the protocols and the firewalls to not
register people that aren’t eligible. We’re going to keep those firewalls in
place.” The Democrats’ Secretary of State did not explain how the firewalls
worked and if any ineligibles had managed to vote.
After the 2016 election
in which Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton, Padilla refused to release any
voter information to a federal probe that he claimed “has already inaccurately passed
judgment that millions of Californians voted illegally.” California’s
participation, Padilla said in a statement, “would only serve to legitimize the
false and already debunked claims of massive voter fraud made by the
president.”
Back in 2015, Padilla
told the Los Angeles Times, “At the latest, for the 2018 election
cycle, I expect millions of new voters on the rolls in the state of
California.” True to form, by March, 2018, more than one million
“undocumented” immigrants received licenses.
The DMV has been under
fire for incompetence, with wait times up to six hours and retention of state
employees who sleep on the job. Legislators resisted
calls for an audit and gave DMV boss Jean Shiomoto another $16 million to hire
new employees. Thus equipped, the massive state agency is cranking out “new
voters” for November. The DMV claim that “none” of them is ineligible fits the
pattern of leading Democrats who believe everybody in the state is a legal
resident.
Governor Jerry Brown, who
three times ran for president, calls Californians “the citizens of the
fifth largest economy in the world,” and the sanctuary state law protects even
violent criminal illegals. The ruling Democrats protect illegals while
promising them “free” health care and other benefits. In return, the illegals
vote for Democrats.
“Palestinian-Mexican
American” candidate Ammar Campa-Najjar, is the grandson of Black September
terrorist Muhammad Yusuf al-Najjar, who masterminded the murder and mutilation
of 11 Israelis at the Munich Olympics in 1972. The Democrat, 29, is depending on
“underrepresented voters,” to unseat Rep. Duncan Hunter in San Diego.
Legitimate voters have
good reason to consider “underrepresented” as code for “ineligible” or
“illegal.” For their part, legal citizens and immigrants might wonder how
the Munichian candidate’s
father managed
to enter the United States and what the family was doing in Gaza for several
years. Ammar isn’t telling and establishment journalists look the other way.
Senate boss Kevin de
León, whose name on his birth
certificate voter rolls is Kevin Alexander Leon, claims his father
is a Chinese cook born in Guatemala. The author of the state’s sanctuary law
spent time on both sides of the border and “identifies strongly with Mexican
culture.” The story defies belief but as with Najjar the establishment media
mounted no investigation.
Kevin Alexander Leon
seeks to replace Dianne Feinstein in the U.S. Senate. He has narrowed Feinstein’s
lead to single digits and that stream of “new” voters from the DMV could push
him over the line.
POTUS 44 has endorsed
Campa-Najjar, who worked on his reelection campaign in 2012. The president
formerly known as Barry Soetoro has been campaigning openly for Democrat Gil
Cedillo, who is running for Congress in California’s 39th district. Cedillo has been
accused of sexual harassment by fellow Democrat and documentary filmmaker
Melissa Fazli. That does not trouble the former president, and Cedillo could
also benefit from those “new” voters.
As a State Department
investigation discovered, false-documented
illegals have been voting in local, state and federal elections for decades. That may explain how a
state that twice voted for Ronald Reagan and booted out three of
Jerry Brown’s state supreme court picks, including chief justice Rose Bird, became a Democrat
stronghold.
Back in 1996 in Orange
County, 442 illegals voted for
Loretta Sanchez, the Democrat who narrowly defeated Republican Robert Dornan.
He was the target of Hermandad Mexicana Nacional founder
Bert Corona, a violent Stalinist who opposed Dornan’s strong anti-Communist
stance.
Despite Democrat denials,
voter fraud was going strong in California long before the DMV registered more
than one million false-documented illegals. It’s a safe bet that most if not
all those ineligibles will be showing up at the polls in November.

“In 1960, according to a USC demographic study, fewer than 10%

Federal judge rules
against Maryland as Judicial Watch wins big to uncover obvious vote fraud
potential
Those
Democrats who keep telling us that vote fraud is rare and insignificant fight
like hell to make sure that the evidence remains buried. Even when there are
obvious danger signs such exist in Montgomery County, Maryland, where there are
more registered voters than resident citizens.
You
might think that officials would be anxious to find out why that is, and would
be eager to clean up their voter rolls. Certainly, any officials that cared
about the integrity of the vote would want to ensure that malefactors would not
be able to pick-up ballots and vote them (as the practice of “vote harvesting”
permits). But for reasons only they can explain, Maryland officials fought in federal
court to prevent Judicial Watch from obtaining voter data lists.
And they got skunked.
Judicial Watch announced today that a federal
court has ordered the State of
Maryland to produce voter list data for Montgomery County, the state’s biggest
county. The court ruling comes in the Judicial Watch lawsuit filed July 18,
2017, against Montgomery County and the Maryland State Boards of Elections
under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA).
The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court
for the District of Maryland, Baltimore Division (Judicial Watch vs. Linda H. Lamone,
et al. (No. 1:17-cv-02006)). The decision follows NVRA-related
Judicial Watch successes in California and Kentucky that could lead to
removal of up to 1.85 million inactive voters from voter registration lists.
The NVRA requires states to take reasonable steps to clean up its voting rolls
and to make documents about its voter list maintenance practices available to
anyone who asks.
Judicial Watch had sought the Maryland voter list
data after discovering that there were more registered voters in Montgomery
County than citizens over the age of 18 who could register.
U.S. District Court Judge Ellen Lipton Hollander rejected Maryland’s objections
to providing the voter list information under Section 8(i) of the National
Voter Registration Act:
If Judicial Watch had submitted requests for
voter registration data, corresponding to the thousands of Montgomery County
voters, the State would have been required to produce each record, pursuant to
Section 8(i). Instead, Judicial Watch merely submitted a single request for a
voter list containing and compiling the same information about the thousands of
voters in Montgomery County. Although both scenarios seek the same information,
defendants believe that the NVRA would require compliance with only one of
them. Rejecting Judicial Watch’s request based on semantics would be tantamount
to requiring Judicial Watch to make thousands of separate requests. Neither the
NVRA, the Court, nor common sense can abide such a purposeless obstruction.
****
Organizations such as Judicial Watch have the
resources and expertise that few individuals can marshal. By excluding these
organizations from access to voter registration lists, the State law undermines
Section 8(i)’s efficacy. Accordingly, [Maryland election law] is an obstacle to
the accomplishment of the NVRA’s purposes. It follows that the State law is
preempted in so far as it allows only Maryland registered voters to access
voter registration lists.
The dispute over the voter registration list
arose from an April 11, 2017, notice letter sent to Maryland
election officials, in which Judicial Watch explained Montgomery County had an
impossibly high registration rate. The letter threatened a lawsuit if the
problems with Montgomery County’s voter rolls were not fixed. The letter also
requested access to Montgomery County voter registration lists in order to
evaluate the efficacy of any “programs and activities conducted for the purpose
of ensuring the accuracy and currency of Maryland’s official eligible voter
lists during the past 2 years.”
Democrat Maryland officials, in response,
attacked and smeared Judicial Watch by suggesting it was an agent of
Russia.
No,
Judicial Watch is not an agent of Russia. That is a despicable charge . I
donate to JW as often as I can, and I urge those readers with the resources to
do so to give them money.
Axios:
‘Not a Single’ Demographic Trend ‘Favors Republicans’ in Elections
21 Jul 20192,122
3:59
There are currently no nationwide demographic
trends that “favor Republicans” in future elections, Axios reports.
The nation’s shifting demography
— spurred primarily
from mass legal immigration where more than 1.2 million foreign nationals are
added to the U.S. population every year — is set to make it increasingly
difficult for Republican candidates to win statewide and national elections,
Axios’s Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen note:
The single biggest threat to
Republicans’ long-term viability is demographics. [Emphasis added]
The numbers simply do not lie. America,
as a whole, and swing states, in particular, are growing more diverse, more
quickly. There is no way Republicans can change birth rates or curb this
trend — and there’s not a single demographic megatrend that favors
Republicans. [Emphasis added]
As Breitbart News has chronicled, the foreign-born
voting population is expected to make up about ten percent of the entire
American electorate by the 2020 presidential election — meaning that about
one-in-ten voters will have been born outside the U.S.
(Screenshot via Axios)
The country’s legal immigration
levels, which have floated around
800,000 to 1.5 million admissions a year for the last three decades, have
increased the Hispanic voting population to an unprecedented level. For the
first time in American history, Hispanic Americans will be the largest voting
minority in a national election in 2020, outpacingblack Americans.
Democrats are set to dominate
electorally as a benefit from steady, record-high legal immigration levels.
Analysis by The Atlantic senior
editor Ronald Brownstein revealedthat nearly 90
percent of House congressional districts with a foreign-born population
above the national average were won by Democrats.
This means that every congressional
district with a foreign-born population exceeding roughly 14 percent had a 90
percent chance of being controlled by Democrats and only a ten percent chance
of electing a Republican.
Similarly, less than one-in-ten
House Republicans represent a congressional district that has a foreign-born
population larger than 14 percent. Entire states, driven by legal immigration,
have been transformed electorally, Brownstein’s analysis found.
For instance, Republicans hold about
30 Senate seats in the 20 U.S. states with the smallest foreign-born
populations. Meanwhile, Democrats control 32 Senate seats in the 20 U.S. states
with the largest share of foreign-born residents. Democrats are expected to
target those remaining Republican Senate seats in states with large
foreign-born populations in the 2020 election.
The New York Times and Axios admit
that legal immigration at its current rate will continue shifting the
American electorate more towards Democrat control. University of Maryland,
College Park, researcher James Gimpel has found in recent years that more
immigrants to the U.S. inevitably means more Democrat voters and, thus,
increasing electoral victories for the Democrat Party.
The 2016 presidential election
between then-candidate Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton underscored this trend.
For example, among native-born
Americans, Trump won 49 percent to Clinton’s 45 percent, according
to exit polling data. Among
foreign-born residents, Clinton dominated against Trump, garnering 64 percent
of the immigrant population’s vote compared to Trump’s mere 31 percent.
(Screenshot via CNN)
Nearly 80 percent of all legal
immigration to the U.S. is through chain migration, where newly naturalized
citizens can bring an unlimited number of foreign relatives to the country. In
2017, the foreign-born population reached a record high of 44.5 million.
The U.S. is on track to import about 15 million new foreign-born voters in the next
two decades should current legal immigration levels continue. Those 15
million new foreign-born voters include about eight million who will arrive in
the country through chain migration.

nt Majority
Democratic support for illegal-immigrant drivers’ licenses runs counter to public opinion.
July 18, 2019
New York
Politics and law
Last month, New York became the 13th state to grant drivers’ licenses to illegal immigrants, securing a victory that liberals and open-borders advocates have fought for since Eliot Spitzer was governor. But Democrats should worry about how the debate unfolded in New York: a majority of state voters opposed the bill, including about 40 percent of surveyed Democrats, mainly because the law will confer real benefits on illegal residents, thus rewarding violators of the law. The question of voter fraud—dismissed as a canard by most on the left—raised alarms when Democrats tried to pass a bill that would have automatically registered all drivers to vote (though it required non-citizens affirmatively to opt out of voter registration). After Republican legislators called attention to the potential consequences, the bill was scuttled. As it is, a state driver’s license is all that is required for voter registration in New York, so the potential for abuse is there.
In the suburbs, stiff opposition pushed Long Island’s Democratic state senators to vote unanimously against the bill. But the legislation overcame these headwinds, a testament to the ascendant Left’s newfound power statewide, particularly in New York City. Last year, Gotham voters unseated six members of the senate’s moderate Independent Democratic Conference, replacing them with more progressive challengers. The stridency of the party’s energized urban base was, on this issue, enough to overcome the opposition of the diffuse majority.
Advocates highlighted the modest supposed benefits that licensing illegal-alien drivers would deliver to the state budget and carriers of car insurance, but most voters remained unconvinced—presumably because their concern was less about money and more about the principles at stake. This negative reaction diverged from polls suggesting that Americans nationally have taken a more positive view of immigration since Donald Trump’s inauguration. The dissonance between country-wide polling and the conservative sentiment of deep-blue New York suggests that the national numbers on immigration may reflect the president’s unpopularity in particular rather than any fondness for illegal aliens—and that, when Trump is removed from the equation, the political middle on immigration remains significantly to the right of today’s Democratic Party.
This electoral dynamic is even more pronounced at the national level, where most leading Democrats have followed their activist base to extreme positions. Presidential candidates Bernie Sanders,
Kirsten Gillibrand, and Elizabeth Warren all endorse the
idea of abolishing ICE, while another competitor for the
Democratic nomination, former HUD Secretary Julian
Castro, has argued for mass amnesty. Castro and
Warren also favor decriminalization of illegal entry into
the United States. This radical trend is a recent phenomenon. Just a decade ago, the two major contenders for the Democratic nomination—Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton—tacked to the center on immigration. In The Audacity of Hope, Obama complained about the people he saw waving Mexican flags at immigration rallies, as well as his struggles communicating with non-English-speaking car mechanics. Clinton, for her part, quickly distanced herself from an earlier version of the drivers’ license law when Spitzer advanced it as an executive order.
Unlike New York Democrats, who voted on an unpopular bill, national Democrats believe their leftward shift on immigration mirrors a movement in public opinion. They believe that Trump’s immigration rhetoric fueled Americans’ sympathy on the issue. But their reasoning is flawed. They cite public opinion polls suggesting that Americans shift their attitudes leftward when conservatives hold power, and reverse their position when liberals are in control. Though polling has captured real dissatisfaction with the president’s approach to immigration, it has little to say about what policies voters would support.
The battle over New York’s drivers’ license bill suggests that most voters have not followed elite Democrats to the far left on immigration. Whether this chasm harms the eventual Democratic nominee in 2020 remains to be seen—but that nominee should keep in mind that taking an extreme position on the issue is not a strategy for broad popularity.
"When Obama was still a senator, he declared at a campaign stop while addressing SEIU, “Before immigration debates took place in Washington, I spoke with Eliseo Medina and SEIU members."
How One California Marxist Is Indoctrinating Millions of School Children
August 22, 2019 Updated: August 22, 2019
Commentary
Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is coming for your children.
Not content with taking over school boards and sending comrades into the teaching profession, the United States’ largest Marxist group is also writing the textbooks your children study.
California DSA member Duane Campbell helped write the new History-Social Science Framework for the state, which was adopted in 2017. Sacramento-based Campbell, a DSA comrade since at least 1983, is an emeritus professor of bilingual/multicultural education at California State University–Sacramento and former chair of the Sacramento DSA. He is also the author of “Choosing Democracy: A Practical Guide to Multicultural Education.”
According to Campbell, “Because of California’s large size and market, what goes into California textbooks frequently also gets written into textbooks around the nation.”
In the mid-1990s, Campbell was a contributing editor to Oakland-based Maoist-leaning CrossRoads magazine, which sought to “promote dialogue and build new alliances among progressives and leftists … to bring diverse Marxist and socialist traditions to bear, while exploring new strategies and directions for the progressive political movements.”
In the mid-2000s, Campbell was a contributor to a Bay Area socialist blog called Educational Justice, described as being “from a collective of progressive education activists—stuff about teaching, thinking, parenting, social justice, desegregation, self-determination, economic justice, music, creativity, and building progressive movements for our future.”
Other contributors included Tom Edminster, a teacher’s unionist and DSA member; Karen Zapata of Teachers 4 Social Justice; and Eric Mar, a Freedom Road Socialist Organization supporter and, like Campbell, a member of Progressives for Obama.
As a young man, Campbell was one of several communist or socialist organizers with Cesar Chavez’s United Farm Workers union, an experience he now wants to impart to America’s youth.
Campbell has served on DSA’s leadership body, the National Political Committee, and has also served on the DSA’s Latino Commission and Anti-Racism Commission. In 2017, Campbell was co-chair of the DSA Immigrant’s Rights Committee. Campbell is steeped in Marxist racial politics.
More Voters
The DSA’s interest in education is completely political. Inspired by Italian Communist Party theoretician Antonio Gramsci, DSA seeks to infiltrate U.S. society’s main opinion-forming institutions to change the popular consciousness in a socialist direction. In the more short-term, DSA is committed to both expanding the Latino vote and pushing it to the left to give its allies in the Democratic Party an unchallengeable majority in national elections.
Campbell’s DSA comrade, Eliseo Medina, was also active in the United Farm Workers union under Chavez. Medina transferred to the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), rising to executive vice president. As one of the most influential advocates for amnesty for illegal immigrants in the country, Medina served as an informal immigration adviser to then-President Barack Obama.
When Obama was still a senator, he
declared at a campaign stop while
addressing SEIU, “Before immigration
debates took place in Washington, I
spoke with Eliseo Medina and SEIU
members.”
At the America’s Future Now! conference in Washington on June 2, 2009, Medina addressed attendees on the necessity of “comprehensive immigration reform.”
Speaking of Latino voters, Medina explained their importance to the socialist project:
“When they voted in November, they voted overwhelmingly for progressive candidates. Barack Obama got two out of every three voters that showed up.
“So I think there’s two things that matter for the progressive community:
“Number one: If we are to expand this electorate to win, the progressive community needs to solidly be on the side of immigrants. That will expand and solidify the progressive coalition for the future. …
“Number two: [If] we reform the immigration laws, it puts 12 million people on the path to citizenship and eventually voters. Can you imagine if we have, even the same ratio, two out of three?
“If we have eight million new voters … [we] will create a governing coalition for the long term, not just for an election cycle.”
Campbell wants to use his influence on the education system to play his part in DSA’s revolutionary program.
Educational Change
In the early 2010s, Campbell set up a network to change the California history and social studies textbooks, which had mainly been written by objective historians appointed by Gov. Ronald Reagan.
Wrote Campbell:
“I have spent more than six years working on this project—and it was well worth it. The important changes we achieved were produced by years of collective advocacy, lobbying, letter writing, and organizing. After being blocked in our efforts in 2008, we created the Mexican American Digital History site, then organized a statewide network of scholars and community activists to pressure the State Board of Education.
“At each stage, we had to explain why this tedious process of changing the Framework was important. We received assistance from civil rights groups and Latinos in the Democratic Party. Similar and parallel campaigns were organized within the Filipino, Hmong, South Asian, and LGBT communities.”
According to Campbell, this work will result in a new “progressive” path of learning for California’s school children:
“History and social science textbooks in public schools in California and most of the nation are racist, class-biased, and ignore LGBT history. This condition will change in California in 2017 when new textbooks are adopted.
“Under a unanimous decision by the California Board of Education made on July 14, 2016, California students will finally be encouraged to know the history of Latino civil rights leaders like Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta and Filipino labor leaders like Larry Itliong, as well as an accurate and inclusive history of LGBT activists as a part of the history of California and the nation. These topics are currently substantially absent from public school textbooks.”
That’s right—now young Californians can learn all about Campbell’s old boss Chavez, a man who trained for six years in Chicago with the father of “community organizing” himself: Saul Alinsky. They’ll also learn about Chavez’s right-hand woman Dolores Huerta, a longtime DSA comrade and general communist hang-around.
Chavez worked with a lot of Communist Party USA supporters, including Filipino labor organizer Larry Itliong—who will also be profiled in the new curriculum.
This is supposedly all about fairness and giving minorities equal treatment. Teaching kids about communists, it seems, will make them better students and more engaged citizens—especially the more than 1 in 10 students who Campbell claims are homosexual:
“In the current books … the 51 percent of students who are Latino, the 11.5 percent who are Asian, and the estimated 11 percent of students who are LGBT, do not see themselves as part of history, for many their sense of self is marginalized.
“As I argued in a prior book, marginalization negatively impacts their connections with school and their success at school. This has resulted in a nearly 50 percent dropout rate for Latinos and some Asian groups and LGBT students.”
Campbell then goes on to reel off a whole list of leftist individuals and the radical events they inspired, including the occupation of Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay by communist-inspired militants, the communist-inspired American Indian Movement and the standoff at Wounded Knee in South Dakota, the Marxist-led La Raza Unida Party, and the communist-led Chicano Moratorium against the Vietnam War.
And, of course, the 11 percent of California’s children who are allegedly LGBT shouldn’t feel left out. Their far-left champions are profiled, too: “California activists like Harvey Milk and Cleve Jones were part of a broader movement that emerged in the aftermath of the Stonewall riots, which brought a new attention to the cause of equal rights for homosexual Americans.”
Coincidentally, these educational priorities may end up helping DSA’s revolutionary electoral strategy. According to Campbell:
“School marginalization also contributes directly to low-level civic engagement. An accurate history would provide some of these students with a sense of self, of direction, of purpose. History and social science classes should help young people acquire and learn to use the skills, knowledge, and attitudes that will prepare them to be competent and responsible citizens throughout their lives. …
“And, while California and the nation have a general problem with low civic engagement among young people, it is also true that the state has a very specific problem with the rate of Latino and Asian voter participation in civic life.
“Rates of voting and voter registration provide a window into civic engagement. The proportion of state voter registration that is Latino and Asian has remained far below the proportions of these groups in the state’s overall population. …
“We know that we can do better. California has the largest school population of any state, with more than 6,226,000 students in school in 2015, more than 11 percent of the United States total.”
So, not only will millions of California school children be moved to the left by Campbell’s pro-communist propaganda, but they will also likely vote in significantly higher numbers.
This will, of course, consolidate the left’s already iron-grip on California politics, but will likely affect other states as well.
One well-placed Marxist operative can negatively influence millions, even hundreds of millions, of people.
Every pro-American school board in the country should immediately review and probably ban all history and social studies textbooks coming out of California.

Barack Obama
Launches ‘Redistricting
U’ Campaign for ‘Fair
Maps’
1:52
Former President Barack Obama on Monday unveiled a new initiative to influence redistricting efforts across the United States.
The initiative, Redistricting U, will send activists to provide free training and tools to volunteers involved in redistricting efforts and guide groups on how to “be leaders in the movement for fair maps.”
“Training is at the heart of organizing. It’s why I’ve always made it a priority – from my 2008 campaign until now,” Obama wrote in a tweet announcing Redistricting U, which is part of the All On The Line campaign.
In February, Obama’s Organizing For Action and former Attorney General Eric Holder’s National Redistricting Action Fund joined forces to create the All On The Line campaign — aimed at thwarting the use of so-called gerrymandering across the country.
Training is at the heart of organizing. It’s why I’ve always made it a priority – from my 2008 campaign until now. And it’s why I’m proud to announce @allontheline’s in-person training initiative, Redistricting U. Join us: allontheline.org/redistrictingu
“The movement for fair maps will determine the course of progress on every issue we care about for the next decade,” Obama said. “And we can’t wait to begin organizing when the redistricting process starts in 2021. We need to build this movement from the ground up – right now.”
“The movement for fair maps will determine the course of progress on every issue we care about for the next decade. And we can’t wait to begin organizing when the redistricting process starts in 2021. We need to build this movement from the ground up — right now,” Obama said in a statement on the initiative’s website.
“It’s why I made it a priority in my 2008 campaign and throughout our larger movement for change in the years since,” the former president added.
The initiative is part of a larger push by the Obamas for voting reform. In 2018, former first lady Michelle Obama created the When We All Vote initiative aimed at increasing voter turnout across the country.
The Left and the Democratic Party are now so committed to open borders and illegal immigration that they cannot reverse course without a major upheaval within their ranks. Do they really give a damn about the African American population, native born or naturalized Hispanics, and the low-income white working families? Or, are the potential votes of the illegal population more important? With the spending plans outlined above how will they buy off these groups as there will be no money or jobs? How will they avoid the inevitable friction and potential hostility with so many in the marketplace and a limited number of jobs in the low-income sector?
Can the Democratic Party Govern America?
I recently had a lunch meeting with a client of 25 years who is a lifelong member and financial supporter of the Democratic Party. While we managed to avoid politics as best we could, the inevitable subject of Donald Trump and the Democratic presidential field reared its head. Once my friend got past the usual left-wing talking points about Trump, I asked him a simple question. Given the current state of the American Left and their domination of the Democratic Party would the Democrats be able to govern a nation of 330 million people the size of the continent of Europe if they assumed all the reins of power in Washington D.C.? I was met with a blank stare and a stammered “I really don’t know.”
So, for the benefit of my friend and his fellow Democrats and leftists some further questions to help them answer that fundamental inquiry.
This same cabal that would be charged with governing the nation has, for the past three and a half years, marginalized, physically confronted and repeatedly accused 63 million Americans who voted for Donald Trump of being not only racists but fascists and white supremacists, as well as homophobic, xenophobic and among the most vile people on the face of the earth. What will be their intentions for these rightfully incensed citizens? Ignore them and hope they go away (which they will not)? Or succumb to their base in order to stay in power and continue to vilify nearly half of the voters in 2020, thus potentially fomenting serious ongoing confrontations and retaliation.
Over the years 154 million fundamentalist, evangelical or Catholic Christians have been denigrated, mocked and pilloried for their beliefs as religious liberty is under continual assault by the Left and the Democratic Party. What can this segment of society look forward to under a government committed to promoting unfettered abortion and infanticide as well as a determination to purge society of its basic Judeo-Christian foundation? It is almost certain that the hierarchy of the party, in order to placate their base, will continue, by litigation, administrative decrees, and intimidation, to force their secularism on the nation. How will they respond to what will be increasing anger and resentment by 48% of the population?
In a nation of 330 million people there will always be those who will commit mass murder. When and if the current iteration of the Democratic Party takes over, these occurrences will increase. The left has always blamed rhetoric and guns as the primary causation. Thus, when mass murders occur, a Democratic Party in power will have no choice but to appease their left-wing voters (the bulk of their base) and continue to ignore underlying factors such as societal breakdown and mental illness and actively focus on limiting speech and gun control.
Currently 235 million Americans either own or could see themselves owning a gun. How will the Democrats in power go about confiscating guns in a nation of 3.8 million square miles? Utilize a national registry of all gun owners? Outlaw all semi-automatic weapons? Impose onerous taxes and insurance requirements making gun ownership unaffordable? Pass open-ended red flag laws allowing virtually anyone to file a complaint against someone, ostensibly based in their suspicions, thus allowing the police to seize the guns of the accused? As for speech, will certain words, phrases and organizations, as determined by the Left, be considered inciteful and dangerous and thus outlawed? How will the Democrats deal with the inevitable resistance and potential violent pushback from upwards of 72% of the nation’s citizenry?
Once in power, the Democrats are committed to Medicare for all, reparations for African Americans, and new environmental programs amid a myriad of spending programs. The estimated average annual cost of these proposals exceeds $6 Trillion over and above current spending. At present the federal government spends $4.7 Trillion (which includes $1 Trillion of deficit spending). Income taxes account for 50% of all government revenue and Social Security and Medicare withholding account for 36%. Thus, individuals account for 86% of all revenue. In order for the Democrats to pay for these programs, revenue from individual taxpayers would have to be increased by 200%.
As the Democrats have promised not to touch Social Security and Medicare withholding, all the increase would have to be in the income tax arena. Based on the most recent IRS analysis the effective average income tax rate would have to be 80% on the top 10% of income tax filers, a rate of 65% on the next 40%, and a rate of 40% on the bottom 50% of filers. This does not include Social Security and Medicare withholding of another 8 to 12 percentage points plus an average state income tax rate of 8.5 percentage points. Further, the corporate tax rate would have to be increased from a current rate of 21% to 60%.
How would the Democrats enforce these new rates as people either refuse to pay or go into the underground economy? How would they pay for massive unemployment and welfare benefits as a result of an avalanche of layoffs and business closures? What are their plans for the recession and potential depression that would ensue? From whom would the government borrow money and at what exorbitant interest rate? Would they successfully coerce the Federal Reserve into printing trillions of dollars in new money creating massive uncontrolled inflation?
On the other hand, if they do not initiate some if not all of these programs, how do they placate their base and voters without blaming it on the other side as they are wont to do -- thus further antagonizing and pitting segments of society against each other.
Recently the Democratic Party has become the party of open borders and amnesty as well as ultimate citizenship for upwards of 22 million illegal immigrants and with open borders at least another 2-4 million more every year. The vast majority of these illegal immigrants are functionally illiterate and lacking in employable skills.
Currently 30% of all working families (or nearly 50 million Americans) are essentially unskilled and low income but above the poverty threshold. 60% of these are families headed by racial/ ethnic minorities. African-Americans, while 13% of the population (41 million), account for nearly 30% of low income working families. Another 39 million Americans live below the poverty level. Thus, a total of 89 million live in low-income families or in poverty. Yet the Democratic Party, that claims to be the champion of minorities and low-income families, is pushing to ultimately legalize upwards of 22 to 30 million unskilled illegal immigrants (equal to 55 to 73% of the current African American population) which will devastate low income working American families.
The Left and the Democratic Party are now so committed to open borders and illegal immigration that they cannot reverse course without a major upheaval within their ranks. Do they really give a damn about the African American population, native born or naturalized Hispanics, and the low-income white working families? Or, are the potential votes of the illegal population more important? With the spending plans outlined above how will they buy off these groups as there will be no money or jobs? How will they avoid the inevitable friction and potential hostility with so many in the marketplace and a limited number of jobs in the low-income sector?
In summary, while the current American Left dominated Democratic Party and its propaganda arm, the mainstream media, may be good at sowing confusion, communicating overt falsehoods and vilifying their opponents in order to win elections, they cannot and will never be able to successfully govern a nation of 330 million people the size of the continent of Europe. If they ever fully control all the levers of power, this nation will, in due course, cease to exist.

Marxists Work to Reinforce ‘The Squad’ in 2020

Commentary
Not content with Reps. Rashida Tlaib, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , Ilhan Omar, and Ayanna Pressley—the far-left congresswomen collectively known as “The Squad”—the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and allied Marxist groups are targeting multiple congressional seats with far-left candidates in 2020.
No one is safe. The DSA and its pro-China allies, the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) and Liberation Road (formerly Freedom Road Socialist Organization, or FRSO), are targeting dozens of seats currently held by Republicans, moderate Democrats, and even by insufficiently Marxist members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. Most will not make it past the primaries, but some have at least a reasonable chance of being elected.
Here are four serious far-left contenders who could be reinforcing “The Squad” in January 2021.
Cori Bush
Cori Bush is targeting Missouri’s 1st Congressional District, which encompasses St. Louis, Florissant, and Ferguson. Her Democratic primary opponent is William Lacy Clay Jr., a veteran of both the Congressional Progressive Caucus and the Congressional Black Caucus, who has represented the district since 2001, succeeding his father William Lacy Clay Sr. In 2018, Bush stood against Clay Jr., losing by about 20 percentage points.
A native of St. Louis, Bush is a registered nurse, an ordained pastor, an activist, and a “community organizer.” She first came to prominence during the Ferguson anti-police protests of 2014, where she played a significant, if largely covert, role.
During a BlogTalkRadio show broadcast in August 2015, Bush was reporting “on the ground” as she described the scene days after “shots rang out” in Ferguson: “I’m right on the ground. I’m right here in the middle of it, so there’s chanting behind me. As a matter of fact, I was riding in a car … circling the neighborhood with flags and with our masks on.”
Prominent in the activist community, Bush was a recipient of the 2015 “Woman of Courage” Award from the Emmett Till Legacy Foundation and the 2016 Delux Magazine “Power 100” Award, according to her website. She was named one of the ‘Top 50 Women of St. Louis” by Gazelle Magazine, and an “Unsung Human Rights Hero” by the St. Louis Coalition for Human Rights in 2017. She also received the 2018 “Community Activist” award from the Missouri Association of Black Ministers. In 2017, she was elected the first vice-chairperson of the Missouri Democratic Party Progressive Caucus.
District 1 is heavily Democratic, so if Bush can manage to beat Clay Jr., she will almost certainly win the seat.
Working in her favor is her close connection to two of Missouri’s most influential Marxist groups: St. Louis DSA and the local CPUSA. These groups can muster nearly 1,000 activists and have already elected many local officials, including several state representatives. Early this year, St. Louis Communist Party leader Tony Pecinovsky (supported by Bush and running as a Democrat) lost a race for St. Louis Board of Aldermen Ward 14 with a respectable 48 percent of the vote.
Bush is a regular at the local Communist Party HQ—the St. Louis Workers Educational Society. During her 2018 campaign, Bush celebrated her birthday at an event in St Louis. Guest speakers included DSA member Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
In July 2017, Bush joined a Sit-In to Save Health Care at Republican Sen. Roy Blunt’s office in Clayton, Missouri. Bush was joined by members of the St. Louis DSA, Socialist Alternative, and the St. Louis Workers’ Education Society.
Bush already has the endorsement of Justice Democrats—famous for selecting and electing Ocasio-Cortez in 2016.
Albert Lee
Albert Lee is targeting Oregon’s 3rd Congressional District, which encompasses all of deep blue Portland. The very safe Democrat district has been held since 1996 by Earl Blumenauer, a long-time member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. Blumenauer beat his last Republican opponent 73 percent to 20 percent, so if Lee can win the primary, he’s almost guaranteed a seat in Congress.
Lee is currently the Dean for Business and Computing at the Sylvania Campus of Portland Community College.
He is active in TriMet’s Transit Equity Advisory Committee, the City of Portland’s Citizen Review Committee, the executive board of the Giving Tree NW, Health Care for All Oregon, the NAACP, Korean American Coalition of Oregon, and the Democratic Party of Oregon. He is a member of Portland DSA and the DSA front BerniePDX/Our Revolution, and on the board of directors of the far-left Asian Pacific American Network of Oregon—all groups with considerable electoral experience.
Currently, Lee is seeking Portland DSA’s endorsement. If he gets both local and national DSA endorsement, Lee will have an army of small donors and several hundred free doorknockers and phone-bankers on his team.
While the incumbent Blumenauer has ties to some DSA veterans, that may not do him much good. The DSA is likely to throw the old Jewish white “progressive” under the bus in favor of the young Korean/black socialist.
Lee is supporting Paige Kreisman in her run for Oregon Assembly District 42. Kreisman is a self-proclaimed Marxist-Leninist and member of both the DSA and CPUSA.
Lee is also supporting Doyle Canning, who is running for Congress in Oregon’s 4th District against Congressional Progressive Caucus co-founder Peter DeFazio. Canning has long been associated with FRSO/Liberation Road activists.
Mike Siegel
Mike Siegel is contesting Texas’s 10th Congressional District, which stretches from just north of Austin almost to Houston, against incumbent Republican Michael McCaul. In 2018, Siegel lost to McCaul by only four points in what is normally a safe Republican district, so the second time around, he may be even more of a threat.
Siegel is an assistant city attorney in Austin. He has worked as a public school teacher with Teach for America and co-founded two nonprofit education organizations.
Siegel’s far-left credentials are impeccable. He’s the son of Oakland, California-based activist/attorney Dan Siegel, once the West Coast leader of the Communist Workers Party, a group known for its blind loyalty to China and North Korea.
At Cornell University, Mike Siegel was president of the far-left National Lawyers Guild student chapter. He also served as an intern at the equally radical Center for Constitutional Rights, researching issues such as civil liability for military contractors. He also worked as legal coordinator for the “Winter Soldier: Iraq and Afghanistan” conference presented by the FRSO front group Iraq Veterans Against the War.
In 2018, Mike Siegel was heavily supported by several DSA-controlled groups including Our Revolution–Central Texas, Left Up to US, and Texas Alliance for Retired Americans. Austin DSA membership coordinator Jacob Aronowitz also served on Mike Siegel’s 2018 staff.
By July 2019, the Siegel campaign had garnered a number of key national and local endorsements, such as: far-left California congressman Ted Lieu; DSA front organization Progressive Democrats of America; International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers; National Union of Healthcare Workers; and leftist Mike Floyd of the Pearland ISD school board.
Austin DSA and neighboring Williamson County DSA can muster over 1,000 members between them. Austin DSA is currently supporting one of its own comrades, Heidi Sloan, against Republican Roger Williams in District 25. However, they will almost certainly support Siegel as well if they think he has any chance of defeating McCaul.
Eva Putzova
Eva Putzova is contesting the Democratic primary in Arizona’s District 1, which encompasses all of the northern and eastern part of the state. Her opponent is incumbent “moderate” Democrat Tom O’Halleran, who in 2018 defeated his Republican opponent by about 8 points.
Putzova, a Slovakian immigrant, has been very active in public life in Flagstaff. She was elected to the Flagstaff City Council in November 2014 to a four-year term. She also served on the Board of Directors of Flagstaff Arts Council, the Audit Committee, the Economic Collaborative of Northern Arizona, and the Northern Arizona Intergovernmental Public Transportation Authority.
In 2016, she led a successful local citizen initiative, “raising Flagstaff’s minimum wage to $15 by 2021, implementing one fair wage by 2026, and establishing local labor standards enforcement,” according to her former councilmember bio.
Putzova was also a “board member of Friends of Flagstaff’s Future—a multi-issue organization that advocates for a socially and environmentally just Flagstaff.” She has also “contributed to the goals of local commissions and committees, including the Regional Plan Citizen Advisory Committee, Coconino Community College Citizen Review Panel, Citizen Review Commission for Flagstaff Regional Five-Year and Long-Range Transit Plan, and the Greater Flagstaff Economic Council.”
Currently, Putzova works as the director of communications for Restaurant Opportunities Centers United, a far-left labor organization with ties to FRSO/Liberation Road.
For several years, Putzova has been active in the Flagstaff branch of Progressive Democrats of America, a national organization closely affiliated with the DSA. The national organization is supporting Putzova, one of their earliest endorsements of the 2020 election cycle. She is also close to Our Revolution—Flagstaff Progressives, which on a national scale is also heavily dominated by DSA members.
Putzova is also very close to Flagstaff DSA, which will likely support her in her upcoming battles with O’Halleran and any Republican challenger.
We Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet
While many U.S. voters have been shocked by the antics of “The Squad” and the Democrats’ increasingly obvious shift to the hard left—we ain’t seen nothing yet.
The Democrats have been edging left since the 1960s. The socialist shift accelerated dramatically under President Barack Obama and went into overdrive with the Bernie Sanders campaign of 2016.
Currently, the DSA, CPUSA, and FRSO/Liberation Road are contesting for ground in the Democratic Party at every level, from county commissions and education boards to the House of Representatives and even the U.S. Senate. It’s only a matter of time until they completely dominate a once-great political party.
Whether Bush, Lee, Siegel, and Putzova win or not in 2020 is largely immaterial. There are hundreds more like them standing in line, waiting for their shot.
The Trump administration and the Republican Party are right to campaign against socialism and communism in 2020. Only by waking up millions of U.S. voters to the imminent Marxist threat can we have any hope of saving this great republic.

Nearly 1 Million
Californians Registered to Vote Are Ineligible, Says Non-Partisan Group
A non-partisan group has reported that
there are still several counties in California where the number of registered voters
is greater than the number of eligible citizens, with the total nearing one
million people.
The Election Integrity Project California
(EIPCa) stated in
a release on July 8 (pdf) that if voter problems are not promptly addressed by state
officials, fraudulent election activities may continue to haunt the state.
Using the state’s own data on active and
inactive status registrants, the organization found that eight counties have
not cleaned up their inactive registrant lists, despite a 2018 legal settlement
that requires California counties to properly maintain their voter rolls and
remove inactive voters according to federal law.
According to EIPCa, there are currently
991,411 people registered who are ineligible to vote. This is an increase of
63,376 from the group’s 2017 report, which found 928,035 ineligibles registered
to vote.
As the number of names with inactive status
continues to grow, the organization noted that these excess registrants open up
the doors to fraud.
Voter registration rates that exceed the
eligible population range from 103% in Ventura, San Benito, and Plumas counties
to 115% in San Diego. Other counties include San Mateo at 104%, Solano and
Santa Cruz at 107%, and Los Angeles at 109%.
Just months ago, the state’s Department of
Motor Vehicles (DMV) acknowledged making 105,000
registration errors, with at
least one noncitizen claiming the DMV improperly added him to the voter rolls.
In an interview with The Epoch Times, EIPCa
Chief Analyst Ellen Swensen confirmed that the DMV’s practices still need
improvement, although the EIPCa doesn’t have a way of finding out who is or
isn’t a citizen by just looking at their voter registrations.
In addition to the errors made by the DMV,
she said, people who are ineligible to vote might also be getting registration
forms from people who are paid to register voters and who might be unaware of
the law.
“This can harm [immigrants’] future chances
of gaining citizenship, so it’s important that non-citizens become educated
about this,” she said. Furthermore, there are “thousands of duplicated [and
ineligible] registrations” that can be used during elections “with or without
the person’s knowledge.”
Recently, nine
people were accused of
offering cash or cigarettes in exchange for forged signatures on voter
registration forms and petitions in Los Angeles. Prosecutors claim the group
was active during the 2016 and 2018 election cycles, targeting the homeless to
help them register fictitious persons.
EIPCa says this type of abuse may have been
enabled by the state’s voting laws.
“Because California does not require an ID
for a person to vote, and because some counties include the names of inactive
registrants on their publicly-displayed Election Day rosters, anyone can claim
to be the inactive registrant and receive a ballot,” Swensen said.
“All that is required is an oath (verbal or
signed) that they are who they say they are.”
Swensen said officials need to do more to
fix this problem.
“EIPCa would like to see counties become
more proactive with list maintenance by mailing a card to every registrant on
the list, not just those with inactive status,” she explained.
“This would allow all registrants to update
their information and would, for those who have moved, died, etc., begin the
lawful [process of inactivation and cancellation]. This would go a long way to
reduce the almost 1 million ineligibles currently on CA’s list.”
In early 2019, the Sacramento
Bee reported that
Secretary of State Alex Padilla’s office was investigating whether noncitizens
had voted in the June 2018 primary. At the time, Padilla admitted that voters
were losing their trust in the system due to registration errors, echoing
others such as State Sen. John Moorlach (R-Costa Mesa), who said that despite
his “high level of confidence in California’s election systems,” he knew that
the state should “do more to assure the voters that the system doesn’t have
holes in it and that the boat isn’t leaking.”
Meanwhile, in November 2018, San Francisco
became the largest city in the United State to give noncitizens the chance to
vote in a local election. While the city’s move did not impact any election in
the state or federal levels, some believe that the trend could spread to the
rest of the state, and errors could continue to occur.
“Noncitizen voting is a very contentious
issue,” said Robin Hvidston, executive director of We the People Rising, a
Claremont organization that lobbies for stricter immigration enforcement, at
the time, according
to the Los Angeles Times. “The
move to extend voting rights to those illegally residing in San Francisco has
the potential to backfire among citizens with a moderate stance on illegal
immigration.”
An earlier version of this article incorrectly
stated that EIPCa found an increase of 928,035 ineligible voters over the
group’s 2017 report. The Epoch Times regrets this error.
Jan Kozak, a Czech Communist, explains how Czechoslovakia was
transformed from a free country into a communist dictatorship in 1948 without
armed revolution taking place. They voted the communists in and, once
they had a taste of power, they held on to it for 40 years. That would
not be possible in the United States, right? After all, President Trump
has said America will never be a socialist country. Let’s take a look at
something happening now that may make you wonder.
The 1948 Czechoslovakia model uses the voting booth to obtain
power. To do that they need voters. Here’s one way to get
truckloads of new voters. Immigrants who become citizens vote
overwhelmingly Democratic. Table 4 from this Center for Immigration
Reform link shows voter changes as
immigrant population increases in 25 U.S. cities. It gives a pretty good
reason why Democrats want more immigrants. They result in Democratic
election wins.
Step one of the plan is to recruit voters. Pueblo Sin Fronteras (People Without Borders for you English speakers out there)
is a nonprofit group based in Chicago. Glenn Beck gives a good summary of
the group, its primary organizers, and some of its activities in this video if
you’d like to know more about them.
PSF advertises in Honduras and Guatemala for people who would be
interested in coming to the United States to live. That would be a hard
sell, wouldn’t it? They then help organize and finance the “caravans”
that march 1000 miles across Mexico and end up at our southern border.
And you thought it was all a spontaneous.
O
nce the “caravan” gets to the border and some of the
participants begin to get across and into the U.S. immigration system, the
question becomes what to do with them? You would think someone who comes
into the country illegally could be sent back but some judges are foot soldiers
in the Left’s multi-pronged attack and block attempts to deport illegals.
The federal government is so big it’s hard to keep track of what
kind of people populate it. The 1948 Czech plan utilizes pressure from
above with high-level politicians and the media as well as from below with
unions, activist groups, and sympathizers in the government. Some of
today’s leftist sympathizers werepolitical appointees of Obama’s who have managed to get lifetime civil-service jobs and
others are actual card-carrying Democratic Socialist of America members
who work on behalf of Left wing
objectives as revealed in recentProject Veritas undercover videos.
With these kind of people occupying various positions in
government it stands to reason that a plan would be hatched to use these “new
potential voters” to help swing Florida, the nation’s third-largest state
firmly into the Democratic left column. If they can do this there is no
way Republicans can win the presidency in the foreseeable future. Someone in the Border Patrol decided to start shipping 500 illegal aliens a
month from the southwestern border to Florida. These aliens would subsequently be processed and
released into the general population. The plan got out and news from the
weekend seems to indicate President Trump, who was unaware of the plan, will not allow it to go forward.
For the sake of our discussion, let’s say the plan goes
forward. These are new recruits who likely won’t be able to get
citizenship by 2020 but will be the next generation of “new Americans.”
The bureaucracy is working feverishly right now to get new citizens processed
and voting with Florida citizenship classes
seeing increased attendance in
the run up to 2020. If they can’t win in 2020 they’ll have another four
years to continue the importation of voters.
Keep in mind that citizenship is really no barrier to
voting. Some of these people could actually vote in 2020. Judicial Watch estimates at least
900,000 aliens illegally voted in
the midterm elections. How
can that be? I suspect there are a number of ways but if you care to
listen to the portion of the May 10. 2018 Mark Levin Show starting at the 31:26 minute mark you can hear a caller who
claims to work for the U.S. Immigration and Citizenship Service. He says
multiple applicants he has interviewed admit they have voted without being
citizens.
It looks like we have problem. The first step in solving a
problem is to identify what the problem is and why it exists. Once you
know that you can begin to formulate solutions.
Texas Finds
95,000 Non-US Citizens Registered To Vote -- 58,000 Have Actually Voted In
Recent Elections
https://townhall.com/tipsheet/timothymeads/2019/01/25/texas-finds-95000-nonus-citizen-registered-to-vote-58000-have-actually-voted-in-recent-elections-n2540285
On Friday January 25,
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced that 95,000 individuals
registered to vote in the Lone Star State have been identified as "Non-US
Citizens," meaning they are illegally registered to vote. Further evidence
brought forth by Texas Secretary of
State David Whitely confirms that 58,000 of these individuals have
broken the law and voted in "one or more" recent elections.
“Every single instance
of illegal voting threatens democracy in our state and deprives individual
Texans of their voice," AG Paxton said in a statement. "My Election
Fraud Unit stands ready to investigate and prosecute crimes against the
democratic process when needed."
Texas Democrats asking non-citizens to vote
The Public Interest Legal Foundation has alerted the Justice
Department to a gambit by Texas Democrats to get non-citizens to vote.
The state party sent out a voter registration form asking
non-citizens to sign up, with the citizenship box already checked
"yes."
The Public Interest Legal Foundation alerted district attorneys
and the federal Justice Department to the pre-checked applications, and also
included a signed affidavit from a man who said some of his relatives, who
aren't citizens, received the mailing.
"This is how the Texas Democratic Party is inviting
foreign influence in an election in a federal election cycle,"
said Logan Churchwell, spokesman for the PILF, a group that's made its
mark policing states' voter registration practices.
The Texas secretary of state's office said it, too, had gotten
complaints both from immigrants [sic] and from relatives of dead people who
said they got mailings asking them to register.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott vowed to investigate.
"If true there will be serious consequences," he said.
This is an open invitation for voter fraud on a large scale, and
the way the Democrats went about it defies belief:
The applications were pre-addressed to elections officials, which
is likely what left many voters to believe they were receiving an official
communication from the state.
But the return address was from the State Democratic Executive
Committee, and listed an address in Austin that matches the
state Democratic Party's headquarters.
The letter is emblazoned with "Urgent! Your voter
registration deadline is October 9." It continues: "Your
voter registration application is inside. Complete, sign and return
it today!"
On the application, boxes affirming the applicant is both 18 and a
U.S. citizen are already checked with an "X" in the Yes field.
The mailing also urges those who are unsure if they're registered
to "Mail it in."
Dead people were also being asked to vote.
Sam Taylor, spokesman for Texas's secretary of state, said they
heard from people whose relatives were receiving mail despite having passed
away 10 years ago or longer. One woman said her child, who'd been
dead 19 years, got a mailing asking to register.
"It looks like a case of really bad information they are
using to send out these mailers," Mr. Taylor said.
Mr. Taylor is being very charitable. I doubt very much
whether it's "bad information" being used by Democrats.
How many other state Democratic Parties send out similar requests
to non-citizens and haven't been caught? Are we to believe that one
party in one state came up with this idea all on its own? Perhaps,
but not likely.
Many liberals believe that anyone in the United States – citizen
or non-citizen – should be able to vote. If they want to make that
argument and change the law to make it happen, they are more than welcome to
try. Of course, if they run on that issue, they will get slaughtered
at the polls. So instead of going to the American people and working
to change the law, they try an underhanded dirty trick to achieve the same
goal.
Someone should go to jail for this ruse.
U.S. Election Meddling: Nationwide Voter Fraud, Importation of 15M
Foreign-Born Voters
As
the establishment media, GOP, and Democrats fret over the influence foreign
countries have on U.S. elections, the leading threats to the American
electorate remain nationwide voter fraud and mass immigration.
U.S. Election Meddling: Nationwide Voter Fraud, Importation of 15M
Foreign-Born Voters
As
the establishment media, GOP, and Democrats fret over the influence foreign
countries have on U.S. elections, the leading threats to the American
electorate remain nationwide voter fraud and mass immigration.
Though President Trump’s administration
sought to thoroughly investigate voter fraud through the Presidential Commission on Election Integrity,
the board was handed
off to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in
order to bypass obstruction from national Democrats who refused to turn over
voter data.
Voter
Fraud
The number
of convictions against voter fraud continues to rise, with now nearly 940
criminal convictions on the books across the U.S., according to the
latest data from the Heritage Foundation.
Likewise,
the number of cases of voter fraud has risen. Heritage’s Voter Fraud Database
now features 1,071 cases of voter fraud that spans across 47 states.
In the most recent study by the Government Accountability
Institute (GAI) on voter fraud, the think tank found 8,471 high likely
cases of double voting. About 7,271 of those cases were inter-state double
voting, while the remaining 1,200 cases were of intra-state double voting.
“The
probability of correctly matching two records with the same name, birthdate,
and social security number is close to 100 percent,” the GAI report noted.
Kansas Secretary of State and gubernatorial candidate
Kris Kobach is fighting in his state to enforce voting laws that would mandate
voters prove their U.S. citizenship. This effort has currently been
halted by the left-wing ACLU organization and a circuit judge who recently
claimed that it was unconstitutional for a state to demand voters provide
their U.S. citizenship records. Years ago, proof of citizenship voting laws
were upheld as fully constitutional.
“Compare
[Russia meddling in the 2016 presidential campaigns] to the kind of foreign
influence in the actual election numbers in foreign nationals voting,” Kobach
told Breitbart News. “That’s real and much more consequential and it’s
happening all over the country.”
Kobach said his expert witness in the
suit with the ACLU over the proof of citizenship law revealed that as many as
33,000 foreign nationals are on the voter rolls in Kansas. For states like
California, with the largest foreign-born population in the country, the number
of foreign nationals on the voter rolls is likely in the hundreds of thousands
or even the millions, Kobach says.
Mass Immigration
Similarly, mass legal and illegal
immigration to the U.S. continues to be the largest driver of population
increases and demographic shifts in the country. Every year, more than 1.5 million
immigrants are admitted to the country. The U.S. has imported more
than ten million immigrants in the last decade.
The vast majority of foreign nationals
arrive through the process known as “chain migration,” where newly naturalized
citizens can bring an unlimited number of foreign relatives to the U.S. Every
two new immigrants to the country bring an additional seven foreign relatives
with them.
As Breitbart News has extensively
reported, the U.S. is on track to import about 15 million
foreign-born voters by the year 2038. That is nearly quadruple the size of
the annual number of U.S. births; about four million American babies are born
every year.
Through
chain migration alone, the U.S. will import about eight million foreign-born
voters in the next two decades.
The
country’s continued mass immigration policies are likely to hand over electoral
dominance to Democrats in statewide and national elections, Breitbart News has
noted.
Analysis
conducted by Axios’s Chris Canipe and Andrew Witherspoon shows the
overwhelming trend of foreign-born populations voting Democrats into office
over Republicans.
