And is it not amazing that for most commercial transactions, when any American citizen wants to go into a major retailer or any store, a grocery store, and wants to pay for the items purchased with a check, that that shopper must produce two forms of identification, quite often, and with the manipulation and the usurpation of rights under motor voter, we are setting up a scenario in which noncitizens will not be required to show any proof of citizenship to have the right to vote in elections that determine the future of the United States of America. How cynical, how corrupting. What an insult to those hard-working, honest immigrants who come here who apply for citizenship, who want to be American citizens more than anything else in the world, who want to contribute something to this country, who want to have a better future for themselves and their families, and whose very citizenship is being cheapened by these cynical actions designed to perpetuate a cynical welfare state and to return to power those who seek power by any means necessary.
