Texans Together appears to be a bunch of community organizers that would make Barack Obama proud. They have put out this Houston Votes ad. The ad clearly is playing on Hispanics fear of the Arizona immigration enforcement law. Taken at face value, the ad could be seen as encouraging non-citizens to register and vote. In the ad, a policeman stops a Hispanic looking man and asks him if he is from around here. The man replies no. Upon further questioning, it is revealed the man is from Mexico, but here legally. The policeman then asks to see the man's documents. The announcer then asks us, "Don't want this to happen?" Then he tells us to vote. The ad shows a voter registration form and the announcer says, "Fill out this one or fill out theirs." If the man stopped had been a U.S. citizen, the ad would have made sense, but the Hispanic man in the ad admits he is here legally from Mexico. This would make him a non-citizen and ineligible to vote. Watch the video and form your own opinion. Here is the voter ad video.

Is it just me or does this ad encourage non-citizens to register and vote?

Do the motor voter laws in each State encourage foreigners to vote in our elections?
