If illegal immigrants have no trouble finding work illegally, it shouldn't be a surprise that it's just as east for them to vote illegally. In this case it's a Democrat who's encouraging illegal aliens to vote for her, but I wouldn't be surprised if there are plenty of Republicans out there, the ones in the Senate who voted for amnesty for instance, who are thinking the same thing.
If an election can turn on a sentence, this could be the one: “You don't need papers for voting.”On Thursday night, Francine Busby, the Democratic candidate for the 50th Congressional District, was speaking before a largely Latino crowd in Escondido when she uttered those words. She said yesterday she simply misspoke.
But someone taped it and a recording began circulating yesterday. After she made that statement at the meeting, Busby immediately said: “You don't need to be a registered voter to help (the campaign).”
She said that subsequent statement was to clarify what she meant.
So she claims that she was only encouraging illegal aliens to work on her cmapaign, not to actually vote? That's not what her words said, but it's still pretty bad. Later she came up with a better excuse:
Busby said that Republicans are now twisting her words. She does not in any way support or advocate that illegal immigrants vote, she said.“I was clarifying the question that was being asked in Spanish and then stated that you do not have to be a registered voter to help the campaign because there were many people who appeared to be to be under 18 in the group who wanted to volunteer,” she said in a statement.
Right... she was taking questions, in Spanish, from a Spanish-speaking audience, and when she referred to "papers" she was thinking of American citizens under the age of 18 and not illegal immigrants. Ridiculous.
