USCIS and Alien Voting: Falling Down on the Job
Posted by Matt O'Brien | Jul 7, 2017 | Law & Justice | 1 |
The Washington Examiner recently reported that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is waffling on whether it will provide data to President Trump’s commission on voter fraud. Ostensibly, the agency is concerned about potential violations of privacy law. That is complete poppycock.
With very limited exceptions, U.S. citizenship is required to vote in an American election. It is a crime for non-citizens to vote in a federal election. And aliens who do so may be charged with a crime pursuant to 18 U.S. Code Section 1611. Similarly, an alien who makes a false claim to U.S. citizenship in order to vote may be prosecuted pursuant to 18 U.S. Code Section 1015(f).
