  Even without the influx of Hispanics into the country it makes sense

  It's the sort of typical miss step that people have when speaking. Fox

  True. The Rs want to make sure the non-citizens don't vote

    Why would only Republicans want to make sure of that? Shouldn't every
  American want to ensure that foreign nationals aren't swaying out
  elections?
 

  there's already a 'rule' for that. When you register you have to be a
citizen to
  do so.

    But no enforcement of it. It's basically on the honor system.
 

What Adam said. There's a couple of steps where verification takes place.

 And yet despite what Adam said, roughly 4000 non-citizens voted in Nevada in
the last election.

You have no proof as usual but it's probably true because the governor is Republican.  Typical right wing shit.
