Illegal voting story sparks criminal investigation
ABC 7 - WZVN ^ | Feb 17, 2012 | Andy Pierrotti

Law enforcement is now taking action in direct response to an NBC2 investigation involving potential voter fraud. It comes after we uncovered non U.S. citizens who were registered to vote.

The Collier County Sheriff's office is investigating two voters who admit they are not U.S. citizens, yet cast ballots in numerous elections.

"This is the first year we've actually had a complaint come in that non-citizens were voting," said Sergeant David White, who is assigned to the county's economic crimes unit.

White got the names from the Supervisor of Elections office after the NBC2 Investigators examined jury excusal forms where residents said they couldn't serve because they were not U.S. citizens.

We found nearly 100 of those names in the database of Florida registered voters.

So far, Lee and Collier county election supervisors have removed 34 of those people from the voter rolls.

Thirty-five voters provided documentation to verify citizenship. If 28 others don't respond to certified letters soon, they'll also be removed.

Our investigation also sparked change within both county election offices. They now get monthly jury excusal reports to help verify citizenship.

Isn’t checking illegal alien voters for U.S. citizenship a form of “racism” and “racial profiling”? Holder and his boys aren’t going to like this. The ‘RATS rely on illegal alien voters to get themselves “elected”. This year they are really going to need the illegal alien voter bloc.

Harrington plans to ask law enforcement to prosecute six voters next week.

Voter fraud is a third degree felony, and it carries a $5,000 fine and up to five years in prison.

Legal resident non citizens as well.

This story is from some months back in Michigan. Fortunately we now have a good secretary of state who is doing what she can to purge the voter rolls. Naturally she gets zero help from the feds.

Anybody travelling out of country, Mexico and Canada excluded, needs a US Passport. And so it should be for voters...

Every US citizen with an ID card.

Obama included.

But the leftards will still contend voter ID`s are just racist schemes to somehow disenfranchise minorities.

So, seriously, the cops have enough time to ticket us on the highway for various stuff, but they won’t do any crime fighting in regards to illegal voting until a news station whines about it?

They had no interest until someone slams some evidence in their faces?

Yet, they have time to harass us citizens for petty crap.

WRT latino illegal voters-----Mexico and the Third World are diligently facilitating AND financing illegal "voting blocs"---b/c they know vote-crazed US politicians will do anything to get votes.....and the payback for getting them elected is billions in foreign aid to these salivating federales.

===================================

REFERENCE: The Mérida Initiative (also called Plan Mexico by critics) is a so-called "security cooperation agreement" between the United States and the government of Mexico and the countries of Central America, with the declared aim of combating the threats of drug trafficking, transnational organized crime and money laundering. The assistance includes training, equipment and intelligence.

In seeking partnership with the United States, Mexican officials point out that the illicit drug trade is a shared problem in need of a shared solution, and remark that most of the financing for the Mexican traffickers comes from American drug consumers. U.S. law enforcement officials estimate that US$12 to 15 billion per year flows from the United States to the Mexican traffickers, and that is just in cash, i.e., not including the money sent by wire transfers.

The U.S. Congress passed legislation in late June 2008 to provide Mexico with $400 million and Central American countries with $65 million that year for the Mérida Initiative. The initiative was announced on 22 October 2007 and signed into law on June 30, 2008.

==========================================

THE "JUST HERE FOR A BETTER LIFE" SCAM "impoverished" illegals buy multiple fake identities for several thousand dollars each.

A family of four can have an income of $30,000 a year and still qualify for food stamps? A single mother, with two children who has a full time job that pays $7.25 an hour has an effective income of $48,000 a year when you add all the benefits she and her children receive from the government: food stamps, Medicaid coverage, subsidized child care, school lunch program, “Temporary” Assistance to Needy Families, subsidized housing, Earned Income Tax Credit, etc.

======================================================

REFERENCE The Federal ID that Pays Illegal Aliens Billions----November 28, 2011

......a recent analysis entitled, “Treasury Department Says Illegal Aliens Collection Billions in Tax Credits,” revealed that according to the Department of Treasury’s Inspector General, more than $4.2 billion in additional child credits were paid out in 2010 to illegal immigrants. In 2005, the pay outs totaled $924 million. This program allows low income earners to claim a $1,000 per child credit.

EITC claims---can run up to over $3000 per claim. $20 billion is estimated to have been paid out to these cunning "impoverished" illegals. Most of them are collecting over and over again-----using multiple identities-----falsifying apps---claiming children they do not have and/or falsely stating kids are back in their homelands. y know vote-crazed US politicians will do anything to get votes.

I just purchased pseudo-phed nasal decongestant at my local pharmacy. To make this $6 purchase, I had to show my driver’s license, have the pharmacist enter all of the information from it into a data base and sign a document that I was making this purchase for legal purposes. I have to produce a picture ID to pay by check, purchase liquor or cigarettes and board an airplane. I bet you need a picture ID to get food stamps, unemployment benefits or welfare payments. Why the heck then is it burdensome and discriminatory to ask for an ID in order to vote?

US citizens Entering the US from Mexico or Canada now requires a passport or a passport card. Illegal aliens can still sneak across without ID.

Thirty-five voters provided documentation to verify citizenship.

So those 35 lied about their citizenship to get out of serving on a jury?

What is the court going to do about that?

Wisconsin passed a voter ID bill and the lefties and the sob-sisters in the “League of Women Voters” are crying their eyes out because it’s “voter suppression” because there is NO election fraud—ever.
