That may help explain the unusually heavy penalty imposed on Rosa Maria Ortega, 37, a permanent resident and a mother of four who lives outside Dallas. On Thursday, a Fort Worth judge sentenced her to eight years in prison — and almost certainly, deportation later — after she voted illegally in elections in 2012 and 2014.

Ms. Ortega, a native of Monterrey, Mexico, came to Texas with her mother when she was an infant. More than a decade later, the family was scattered after the mother was arrested and deported. Two brothers born in Dallas automatically gained citizenship; Ms. Ortega became a permanent resident and gained a green card, her brother Tony Ortega, 35, said in an interview.

She said that becoming registered to vote in Dallas was extremely easy, she just checked the box saying that she was a citizen, and nobody bothered to verify it.

She also claimed she didn't know she wasn't a citizen, but her mom getting deported should have been a clue.

No wonder Democrats felt confident they could flip Texas! With illegal immigrants voting not just once but twice!
 
And there was this one recently too:
URBANA — A Mexican national who has lived in Urbana since 2005, allegedly using a stolen identity, was arraigned Thursday on seven federal counts, including four related to voting by an illegal immigrant.

Miguel Valencia-Sandoval, 33, who allegedly had been using the identity of a Texas man named Ramiro G. Vasquez, pleaded not guilty to the charges before Magistrate Eric Long at U.S. District Court in Urbana.​

In my previous job before I went back into business for myself, I was handling work comp claims and that frequently--and I do mean frequently--put me in contact with Mexican, Central American, and South American nationals--New Mexico being a sanctuary state. And it was far more common than not that they were using several different names, claiming several different addresses, and were using multiple social security numbers as we checked medical information.

If such people were registering to vote--no proof of citizenship is required to register--it would be so easy for them to vote multiple times.

Dead people have been voting in Illinois Dem districts for decades, why not illegals, too?
 
Oh Jeez...here we go.

Trump will be touting this as proof that everyone in America really did vote for him.

It would do any good to deport her today

until the wall is built she would just come right back into the country

This illegal voting thing has taken a whole new tact, given the leader of the California Senate revelation the other day.

Admitting that nearly every illegal alien uses stolen identities in order to survive, there is no way to deny large percentages of them have been voting.

How could anyone know? If a person has invented a new "legal" identity, with stolen SS numbers, etc., what is to stop them from voting? NOTHING.

Case closed.

Until a more vigorous approach is taken to insure voters are legally exercising their right to do so, there is nothing that can be done about the issue.

It's not hard to assume this is a well known fact by the activists on the left, and could reveal one of the true reasons they are so adamantly opposed to any strengthened approaches to the voting process.

For the sake of anti trumpeters she did pick an awkward time to get caught, didn't she?

Obviously the cheaters didn't cheat enough

If illegals in red states had voted 10 times each instead of only once or twice Hillary might be president today

It would be cheaper to kill her and harvest her organs, but that doesn't mean that the cheapest method is always best.

She has been deported before but just came back through the open border

The wall would keep her out forever

from the OP article.


There is, however, at least one flaw in that story: Ms. Ortega was a registered Republican.

“She voted for Mitt Romney over Barack Obama in the 2012 election. In 2014 she voted for our current attorney general, Ken Paxton,” Mr. Birdsall said. “And guess what? He’s the one responsible for prosecuting her.”

Typical conservative voting against her own self-interest.

Yes. Because nobody in history has ever been able to figure out how to scale a wall.

So, we've caught one of these fraudulent voters. 2,999,999 to go.

The wall will prevent most illegal aliens from entering along the southern border

Yes they can try to climb over but they may find it harder after the razor wire is installed at the top

Or they may find border patrol agents waiting for them on the US side

Otherwise deporting them can be an exercise in futility because they just come back

You actually think the wall is gonna happen?

Congress can't be that stupid.

Only way the fool can reconcile getting his ass kicked in PV numbers with his ego.

No he won't. What is more to the point you know he won't. So why do you think it worth posting something so ridiculous?
 
You get caught fraudulently voting, you get messed up. How many areas of crime can be shown where there is such a ratio of crime commission to years sentenced?
