I'm all for keeping Mexicans from voting (as in citizens of Mexico)... but if we're talking US citizens of Mexican descent, they obviously have every bit as much right to vote as I do, whether I agree with who they vote for or not... and I don't know anyone that thinks otherwise.

Texas driver license issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) b.. Texas Election Identification Certificate issued by DPS c.. Texas personal identification card issued by DPS d.. Texas license to carry a handgun issued by DPS e.. United States military identification card containing the person’s photograph f.. United States citizenship certificate containing the person’s photograph g.. United States passport Those are all government issued forms of photo ID... I don't really see anything inconsistent there. here in Wisconsin, at least some student ID's are acceptable... and there is a process for obtaining an ID card completely free if you can't pay for the necessary documentation. But as far as requiring a birth certificate to get an ID, how else do you go about proving that you're actually citizen? I really don't see anything unfair about requiring someone to prove they're a citizen to be eligible to vote.

They are in districts that are so skewed that only a super conservative "republican" could ever win. As for voter ID there is tons of evidence that absentee ballots have a lot of voter fraud but in person voting the fraud is less than .01%. All the voter ID laws are designed to suppress in person voting with an illegal "poll tax". Oh sure the ID might be "free" but the birth certificate you need to produce costs money. Also in texas you can use your hunting or fishing license but you can't use a student ID...even if the student ID was issued by a state school. Tell me exactly how those two things in this country are 1. Fair 2. Make America great?!?! -Sean On Thursday, April 7, 2016, Mike Hammett <[email protected]> wrote: "conservative minority" HAH! Most people are in the middle and couldn't give a shit less, while indeed a minority fight for or against most things. "Progressive liberals" often forget the difference between legal and illegal immigration. If the "conservative minority" is gerrymandering districts in Illinois, they sure aren't very good at it. Both parties gerrymander and it sucks. You need an ID to do almost everything else in your life, why should the most important thing be any different? BTW: I'd like to welcome unchecked emotion to a mostly logical conversation. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP -------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Sean Heskett" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, April 7, 2016 1:16:11 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT Donald Trump Says He Might Block Money Transfers to Mexico - WSJ "The Wall" is a stupid, ignorant and an expensive attempt to solve a non-issue...PERIOD! My great grandfather was an immigrant from Italy...when no one liked Italians. Italy was poor and invading north africa his motivation was the same as all the South Americans coming here now (I say South Americans because most of the illegal immigrants are forms Countries south of Mexico) He forbade my grandmother from learning Italian because at that time the Italians were looked down upon (early 1900's) Totally shameful that everyone has the "close the gate behind me" mentality. America (not 'merica) is built on immigrants. Those who have no compassion for the Syrians fleeing oppression or the South Americans migrating north for a better life are just plain stupid in my opinion. As a progressive liberal - yeah I said it and I'm fucking proud of being a progressive liberal - im so sick and tired of the agenda of this country being driven by this damn conservative minority who would rather see their neighbor fail. And yes it is a conservative minority because they have to gerrymander districts and enact "voter ID" laws in order to win. Social security and Medicare/Medicade are vital to our well being and prevent the old, sick and poor from dying on the streets. I could go on and on but #fucktrump and #fuckcruze their policies and rhetoric have no place in a "civilized" society. What the happened to "love thy neighbor"?!?!? Seriously WTF? I can't wait to see the republican convention contort itself into a million pieces...you reap what you sow. America is already fucking great! Sorry for all the cursing but it really chaps my hide to see American politicians act this poorly. 2 cents -Sean On Wednesday, April 6, 2016, Paul McCall <[email protected]> wrote: Guys, I am not a Trump fan boy, so let’s make this disclaimer up front. However, there is a LOT of street smarts in this guy. The negotiation is just that… a negotiation. IF he gets in, and starts this process and is bound and determined to make it happen, extremities can be discussed (or thrown out there as shots across the bow), and then adjustments get made. The point of a wall WILL be built, coming from him, gets it started, and having Mexico start to feel the pinch (in whatever way that takes) will get people’s attention. Is “the wall” THE answer to immigration challenges? Of course not. Is it helpful and one part of the total solution needed? absolutely. There IS NO border with the U.S. right now. What is there is a façade. Trump is crude and I wish he would tone down the rhetoric a bit (for everybody’s benefit, including himself), but this country needs action in so, so many areas and nobody seems to have the gonads to do anything that isn’t buried in PC or politics or corruption or power or all of the above. I acknowledge that I may be naïve or optimistic on the subject. But, I still believe in America and its strength and there is been absolutely nothing done in recent time to maintain or increase its strength… only further dilution and division and flailing discourse at an unprecedented level historically.
