Remember this classic line from Michael Corleone in The Godfather?
"Luca Brasi held a gun to his head, and my father assured him that either his brains or his signature would be on the contract."
This is essentially what labor unions are doing in Nevada to help re-elect President Obama.
Culinary Workers Union Local 226 appears to be committing voter registration fraud by hoodwinking noncitizen immigrants into registering to vote and then threatening them if they fail to cast their ill-gotten ballots illegally. People who have been lawfully admitted to permanent residence in the United States, that is, permanent residents or green card holders, do not have the right to vote in elections.
Glenn Cook of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that union members who barely speak English were made to sign voter registration forms without understanding what they were signing.
Union goons then visited those members to press them to vote. When they failed to vote, union officials kept visiting and ramping up the pressure.
"One of the immigrants was visited at home by a Culinary representative and said the operative made threats of deportation if no ballot was cast," according to Cook.
Cook writes that the immigrants, who refused to be identified in print, said they're afraid of losing their jobs and being prosecuted for signing a government document that says at the bottom, "I swear or affirm I am a U.S. citizen. I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct."
Of course all of this had to be happening in Nevada, a heavily-unionized state plagued by voter fraud.
It was in Nevada that the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) was convicted last year in a massive voter registration fraud conspiracy.
