Immigration Fraud vs. Vote Fraud
The former seems much more widespread – because the benefits to the individual fraudster are so much greater

The relationship between two categories of fraud – immigration and voting – intrigues me.
I could spend all day every day writing about new instances of immigration fraud, without repeating myself or leaving my computer. There is that much of it, and it is constantly reported by news organizations and press staffs of the enforcement agencies and in the court records. And for every case that is broken there must be at least twice as many that succeeded.
On the other hand, hundreds of skilled, well-paid, and well-motivated lawyers have spent the last seven weeks trying to find voter fraud, and with a single exception, dealing with a handful of votes, they found nothing.
Then there is the difference in the size of the populations that could engage in each kind of fraud. There are, the Census Bureau tells us, 209 million residents of the country 18 or older, all of whom could try to cast an illegal vote, either because they are ineligible to vote or by voting multiple times (although there are other kinds of election fraud, as well).
