And experts say the available evidence does not support the idea that undocumented immigrants commit a disproportionate share of crime.<br /><br />Obviously the primary problem is Congress has failed to enforce immigration law, and we now had literally millions of people living their lives here without legal status. So some cities and local law enforcement have decided protecting the safety of millions of people is more important than these risks of cases of psychotic people being among them.<br /><br />You almost have to wonder how we've gotten this far without federal IDs for citizens and noncitizen residents. Maybe the ReadID is the start of the end of this. The Right has in general been more paranoid about privacy and federal power, but xenophobia does seem sufficient motivate to give up some privacy for safety.<br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/REAL_ID_Act<br /><br />And whether we have 3 million illegal voters like Trump wants to believe, or 45,000 as a group called Government Accountability Institute suggests, knowing who is who seems a necessity for trust in democracy.<br />http://dailysignal.com/2017/07/28/new-report-exposes-thousands-illegal-votes-2016-election The probability of 45,000 illegal duplicate votes is the low end of the spectrum, and it does not even account for other types of fraud such as ineligible voting by noncitizens and felons and absentee ballot fraud.<br />Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-34138585007222481312017-07-30T05:43:12.537-07:002017-07-30T05:43:12.537-07:00Excellent post, tying together several points.
