Of course the Democrats would reject a motion to condemn illegal immigrant voting? Illegal immigrants represent their core constituency.
Nearly every House Democrat on Friday opposed a measure condemning voting in U.S. elections by illegal immigrants, as part of a sweeping election reform bill.
The GOP-backed measure would have added language to the "H.R. 1" election proposal stating that "Allowing illegal immigrants the right to vote devalues the franchise and diminishes the voting power of United States citizens."
Ederal law already prohibits non-citizens from voting in elections for federal office.
The GOP motion referenced how San Francisco is allowing non-citizens, including illegal immigrants, to register to vote in school board elections.
All but six Democrats in the House voted against it.
Lauren Fine, a spokeswoman for House GOP Whip Steve Scalise, pointed out that an identical resolution was adopted by the House last September.
