I believe--and admittedly, I cannot prove this--that many Democrats wish to promote voting by illegals, since a majority will surely vote Democratic. Some states, from California to Maryland, are already experimenting with allowing non-citizens to vote, at least in local elections; it is not such a great leap for these (and other) states to turn a blind eye when illegals vote in congressional, senatorial, and presidential elections also.

I do believe that our immigration process should be streamlined, to the greatest extent possible without our compromising our national security or accepting those who have no apparent desire to assimmilate into American culture. However, to claim (as some Democrats may) that the enforcement of our borders--and, by extension, the protection of our national integrity--is somehow a violation of the Voting Rights Act, seems transparently disingenuous.
