Former President Donald Trump is slightly ahead in the polls and, as in 2016 and 2020, he is drawing massive crowds at his rallies. Some knowledgeable observers have even speculated that Trump could be on the verge of a landslide electoral college victory.
But, while our attention is being drawn to the polls, the campaigning, and the strategies of the presidential candidates, what about the taxpayer-funded electoral apparatus that has been created over the past four years by the Biden-Harris regime?
I’m talking about the regime’s importation of millions of illegal migrants, many of whom have been given government financial aid, free housing, and transportation.
So what does this have to do with the upcoming election?
States Are Purging Illegals from Voter Roles. It’s a Much Bigger Problem
Consider this July 10, 2024 report by the New York Post:
Welfare offices and other agencies in at least 46 states are providing voter registration forms to migrants without requiring proof of citizenship, leading Republicans and conservatives to call for swift federal action to stop the handouts.
Every state but North Dakota, New Hampshire, Wisconsin and Wyoming gives applicants for either welfare benefits, driver’s licenses, or in some cases, mail-in ballots federal voter registration forms without demanding proof of citizenship.
There is currently no requirement on federal voting forms to provide proof of US citizenship, though it is illegal to falsely claim one is a citizen or for a non-citizen to cast a ballot in a federal election.
Similarly, on Aug. 21, 2024, the Texas Attorney General’s Office issued a press release that states, in part, the following:
Investigators from the Texas Attorney General’s Election Integrity Unit recently conducted undercover operations to identify potential voter registration of noncitizens in Texas. The investigation has already confirmed that various nonprofit organizations have been located outside Texas Department of Public Safety Driver License offices, operating booths offering to assist in voter registration for persons doing business at the driver’s license offices. But all citizens have already been presented an opportunity to register to vote as part of the process of renewing or being issued an identification card or driver’s license, so there is no obvious need to assist citizens to register to vote outside DPS offices—calling into question the motives of the nonprofit groups.
In Arizona, litigation is underway to remove 35,000 illegal migrants registered to vote in Maricopa County alone. It is worth noting that in the 2020 election, Biden won Arizona by 10,457 votes, Georgia by 12,670 votes, Wisconsin by 20,682 votes, and Nevada by 33,596 votes.
In Virginia, Alabama, and Ohio, thousands of noncitizen voters have been discovered and purged from the voting rolls.
But how many illegal migrant registered voters remain undetected in those and other states?
The Biden-Harris Regime Expects Illegals to Vote for Them
The Biden-Harris regime has not flooded the country with millions of illegal migrants and given them billions of taxpayer dollars out of some overwhelming charitable impulse. Instead, the regime expects these newly minted dependents to vote for their Democrat benefactors to keep the gravy train flowing.
And concomitantly with former President Trump promising to deport these illegal migrants, it is reasonable to expect that they are highly motivated to keep him out of office.
In summary, if the upcoming election is as close as the contests in 2016 and 2020, the available evidence indicates that there are tens and possibly hundreds of thousands of undiscovered illegal migrant voters ready, willing, and able to provide Kamala Harris with the margin of victory in the swing states.
If that happens, then Barack Obama’s pledge to fundamentally transform America will have taken a giant leap forward.
