Voter reform that is desperately needed.

Okay, here's the ONLY way America will ever get to reliable elections in the future.
1. ALL illegal aliens have to be deported. Any politicians found issuing drivers licenses to them should be prosecuted for aiding and abetting immigration and voter fraud.
2. Build that wall, so future generations of illegal Democrat votes will STAY in Central American and not pay cartels to bring to our shores.
3. ABOLISH EARLY VOTING. There is this thing called absentee voting that has worked for generations. My original precinct was in North Carolina and I cast my FIRST vote for Reagan while in Erie, PA. It can be done. Some people just need to get off their fat asses and do it.
4. ONLY voters with valid photo ID should be allowed to vote. Attempting to vote more than once should be made a felony.
5. Crowded precincts should be required to invest tax dollars into creating more polling places so that voter lines won't be so long.
6. Election day should take place on Saturday, so that those who work for a living wouldn't have to either miss work or stand in a long line to vote.
7. ICE and INS should have officers stationed at EVERY polling place in America, and that would be worth a tax increase to pay for. Any illegal aliens trying to vote should be immediately arrested and deported.

I'll patiently wait while a few idiots hurl insults and call me every name in the book, but these are reasonable suggestions.

No.
Stop criminalizing voting.
Resident aliens should vote.

@Roundandroundwego
They are not resident aliens. They are foreign nationals who have violated our borders. They are criminals. They pay cartels to get them through Mexico, so they are guilty of aiding and abetting international drug cartels, which is at least a felony.
I don't intent to criminalize voting. But I WOULD lock up voter fraud perpertrators.
@Reason10 stop trying to keep people from finding homes and jobs, and we will all know who is really here.

@Roundandroundwego I have NO problem with the HUGE masses of foreign nationals who are waiting in line to come to this country. They DESERVE the homes and jobs.
I have a problem with animals who try to jump the line and pay drug cartels huge sums of money. I have a problem with CRIMINALS. If they come into this country illegally, they are CRIMINALS.
A person who comes into your house, knocks you out and steals all your jewelry and food just because he NEEDS those things to buy a house is CRIMINAL. There is NO difference. Build the wall, and those animals will stay in Central America and try to make it here through our embassies and other LEGAL channels. Otherwise, they are criminals and animals.
@ManKing fix your welfare system - Then, Americans and immigrants will be way better off.
@Reason10 huge numbers leave, net zero immigration. I have huge problems with the waiting lines.

@Roundandroundwego Oh, by the way, the LEGAL immigrants, the ones who have actually had to wait in that long line to get into this country, THEY HATE THE ILLEGALS WORSE THAN MOST OF AMERICA DOES. There are a lot of LEGAL aliens who are brown, black and Asian. Do you have a problem with those people, just because they agree with me, and most of America?
Reason10 · 70-79, M
@ManKing Absolutely.
@Reason10 stop justifying inhumane waiting periods and an impoverished welfare system.

@Roundandroundwego I haven't given an opinion one way or another as to the length of the waiting system. I'm assuming the immigration experts have a good reason for the wait. You need to complain to them. As far as an impoverished welfare system, I actually agree with you on that, (if you are referring to the American welfare system). It is a HORRIBLE system that breaks up families, deprives children of fathers, fosters gang formation and turns sections of town into ghettos. I would get rid if it in a heart beat. I'd replace welfare checks with job applications. There are LOTS of jobs out there, and a lot of people are making a good living. It's not impossible, especially with the poorest families not having to pay a cent for 12 years of government financed public schools. (Yeah, I work as a sub for those schools, so you won't hear me bashing them.)

@ManKing What race are you suggesting is mostly on welfare?
(Put another way, do you EVEN know the meaning of the word "racist?" Hint to low information hack: A racist is somehow who judges people solely due to their race. You probably didn't know that.) Since you want to bring RACE into this, what would you think of a self sufficient black man expecting unemployed people to get a job and pay taxes like he does? Would THAT bother you? Also, what makes you think I'm not black?
Also, how is it racist or even undesirable to expect lazy asses to get a job and pay taxes like I do?

@ManKing You called me a racist for suggesting welfare bums should get a job. What race are you claiming I'm against. Or do you consider ALL welfare bums to be a race by themselves? It was Charles Murray, the sociology author who wrote the book "Losing Ground" where he suggests that the welfare state has expanded to poor, uneducated white people as well. So are you linking the poor whites with the poor blacks and creating a new race? Or are you just so ignorant that you can't think of a worse insult than calling someone a racist?

@ManKing If it appears that I'm a little testy, I've probably spent too much time here.

@Roundandroundwego LEGAL immigrants are allowed to vote. ILLEGAL aliens are criminals and they should not be allowed to vote.
