| Hispanic activists vow to flood voter rolls with 1 million immigrants, punish Trump, GOP at polls |
| 2015-12-15 |
| [WashingtonTimes] Immigrant rights activists have vowed to sign up 1 million immigrants -- mostly Mexicans -- for citizenship and then quickly register them to vote in time to punish Donald Trump and his fellow Republicans at the polls in November for their harsh rhetoric. With nearly 9 million legal immigrants already eligible to become citizens, the 1 million goal is not far-fetched. The activists say they are counting on energizing another 2 million Hispanic citizens who have turned 18 since 2012 and who they believe will turn out to vote to defend fellow Dreamers, or young undocumented Democrats, against Republican calls for their deportation. The effort is funded in part by the Open Society Foundation, the project of liberal billionaire George Soros. Hispanic immigrants, however, have shown a lower propensity to naturalize in the U.S. and have lower turnout rates overall than other demographic groups, challenging the community's leaders to get them more motivated. |

| #10 Hispanic activists vow to do what everyone expected them to do, surprising nobody, except the 1 million Mexicans who will lose their job because they voted for the party who wants to bring in 1 million Levantines. |

| #8 Nothing new here. That's been the plan all along. Only one thing to do: Since most of the Mexican immigrants I've met seem to prefer working over accepting welfare, somebody with exceptional communication skills (like Trump) might explain to them they will have far more opportunities for good jobs and prosperity if they dump the donks. |

| #6 mmigrant rights activists have vowed to sign up 1 million immigrants -- mostly Mexicans -- for citizenship and then quickly register them to vote in time to punish Donald Trump and GOP How exactly do the radicalized activists propose to speed up the citizenship process and register these Democrats to vote? This stuff makes me livid. The Donks are about punishing everyone who doesn't go along with them. We have seen this with this administration when it used the IRS to punish conservatives. We have seen it with Gibson Guitar. Now, every time there is a shooting they try find a way to keep people from buying guns. Now, they are trying to keep people who are on the no-fly list from buying firearms. The fear of conservatives is that the left will punish its enemies by putting them on the no-fly list and then denying them 2nd Amendment rights. Conservatives have opposed this because they don't trust the left. The left tries to go around through the back-door on everything they can't achieve through legitimate means. |

| #3 Oh, golly gee whiz, another banana republic with fake votes and ballot stuffing. Except these peasants are armed to the teeth and quickly running out of patience with its ruling caste already. Yes, lets throw gas on that smoldering pile. If the fire does break out, those who you claim concern for will either be running for the border as fast as their feet or wheels will carry them or be thrust into the very front lines as cannon fodder by you little commissars. Guess what, they've already been there and have seen it. They chose the former already. |

| #2 Voter fraud should be an automatic death penalty. Why? Voter fraud is nothing less than an attempt to overthrow our government and should be treated as such. |

| #1 If legal go ahead. If not, well voter fraud should be a felony. |
