California does not require any proof of ID or citizenship at the polling stations. The ballot workers may ASK if they suspect. But only if they suspect.


Because eligibility is checked during registration, not at the polling station.

However, they are required to show ID for their first time.

Which means that's wrong.

1: So, your argument boils down to: "Immigrants are so expensive" and yet empirical data shows you the opposite and now you go strawmanning.

2: Hahaha^^ Okay, Germany has accepted like more then 2 million refugees since 2015, name me one country in europe that has only accepted a FIFTH of that and i´ll go eat a broomstick for you. If you paid attention to the news you would also know that especially the countries you just cited(Greece, Spain and Frace) are in fact under heavy critique by Germany and the UN for not even accepting the EU set bare minimum of immigrants rofl.

You are in fact citing the countries in Europe that took in the fewest, congratulations.


You keep assuming what my opinion is, despite me stating explicitly what I actually think. You clearly are not paying attention to what I am actually saying, instead using a strawman - which isn't even a strawman related to my point of view. I literally do not understand what you are even trying to accomplish by pretending I am saying certain things.

It would be a incredibly dangerous idea to just let them over the border, especially considering there are criminals hiding among the masses.

Still peddling that bullshit about non-citizen voters without evidence, I see.

Crimes committed by Muslims will be proof of a pan-Islamic plot and Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand, crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of mentally ill lone wolves who do not represent their professed belief system at all.
The probability of someone secretly participating in homosexual acts is directly proportional to the frequency and loudness of their publicly professed disapproval and/or disgust for homosexuality.
If Donald Trump accuses an individual of malfeasance without evidence, it is almost a certainty either he or someone associated with him has in fact committed that very same malfeasance to a greater degree.

1: Well, you keep or kept denying factual data and/or bringing up false counterarguments, this isn´t an assumption either but a fact.

2: Now you are trying to again twist around things... wow. No more comments on that, offtopic anyway.

3: Yeah, that´s exactly what i´m asking you? You made these statements, you said "that can´t be!" without citing any valid argument as to why this can´t be. You said France etc. kept taking a lot of immigrants when it was in fact exactly these countries that took in the fewest in the EU and actually even breached/bypassed(technicaly half-legal) EU law by doing so.

Sorry but you said these things, are you now gonna deny that? Really?

I am referring to this one statement you keep bringing up in regards to me saying immigrants are too expensive. I have no idea where you are pulling this from, since that does not represent my views on immigration at all.

Oh, do you have a source for this claim? Maybe some inside knowledge you would be willing to share. A statement from the people in charge who are not Trump?


How about the fact that millions of them managed to cross successfully and are right here in the US right now?
What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive? Or if during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? The Organs would quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

And most immigrants who are supposedly getting shoed in to vote wouldn't have any of these things.

Oh so this caravan was millions strong, and even though they only just recently crossed into Mexico they have somehow already made it here to the US and have managed to cross in. Wow, these Hondurans are rather impressive. Given the speed at which they walk we should get them to join the US military.

Then what's to stop them from just casually strutting in despite that and going "Aaaay, I'm here to do the votes thing!"

That's exaggerated, btw...I doubt anyone does that when they walk into a polling place....

Just imagine, infantry that is able to cross a country that size while walking at that speed. I wonder what sort of terrain they went through to get here, was it simply along the road, or where they also going through say forests or the like. Where they carrying anything? How much weight where they carrying. I mean damn they would make impressive soldiers.
