Trump insists non-citizens sneak into the country and vote illegally in pre-election rant

in a conversation with pool reporters before heading out to a rally, President Trump claimed without evidence that non-citizens sneak into the United States and vote illegally.

Asked by a reporter, “What proof do you have that people are trying to illegally vote in this election,” Trump said that it had been a problem for years, but didn’t cite any basis for the claim.

“Take a look at what’s happened over the years and you will see,” the president said. “There are a lot of people, a lot of people in my opinion and based on proof, that try to get in illegally and actually vote illegally.”

The president promised prosecutions, but provided no evidence for his claim.

I'm sure Rapey Beer Brett would rule that it's ok to put crazy people in rubber rooms. Dingbat Donnie is ready to go.

My former partner worked for a government agency that dealt with migrant workers. He taught English classes and helped them with translations for their paperwork, and also visited local farms where they worked. Most of them just wanted employment and sent most of their wages home to their families. When the picking season was over they returned home until the next year. They weren't even interested in citizenship, much less voting.

Maybe they stop off in Vegas or Atlantic City first to try their luck, then it is back to Hondouras or Mexico until the next election cycle.
