Dan,
"In regard to voter fraud, do you believe ..."
The earlier topic wasn't so much about individual voters as it was about whether states are adequately checking who gets onto their voter rolls.
My classroom analogy was about some classrooms allowing people to vote who weren't actually enrolled as students in the school.
Regarding US elections, simply saying "only citizens can vote" isn't enough. That requirement must be adequately enforced.
If you're asking where I suspect enforcement might be more lax, my guess would be Democratic controlled states.
Establishing whether it is correct would require examining the states actual verification procedures and enforcement records.
That is why I would support Congress passing a federal election verification law requiring states to provide voter registration records and undergo audits of voter eligibility in federal elections.
The purpose would be to verify that states are adequately enforcing eligibility requirements while leaving them responsible for running their elections.
The same requirements should apply to every state.
Dan,
Bear in mind, the voting fraud classroom analogy is separate from #62, which concerned the death of Pierre Damas Bel after he lost his TPS status where he killed himself.
The Haitian TPS policy history spans several administrations.
Obama's administration repeatedly extended Haiti's TPS protection due to the earthquake. Those extensions did not themselves establish a path to permanent residency in the long run if some chose to remain in the US. What did Obama think would happen to those people in the long run? Apparently, Obama had no plan for them.
Biden's administration extended protection again in 2024 and expanded eligibility to include newer arrivals. Bel arrived in 2024 and received TPS.
When the Trump administration ended Haiti's TPS designation, Bel lost that protection. His family connects his subsequent distress to losing TPS and being required to wear an ankle monitor where it is believed he was humiliated and was no longer eligible for sports or ROTC.
An ongoing path to permanent residency enacted earlier by Congress could potentially have covered later recipients like him, depending on its requirements.
That is the question about the lack of long term planning on Obama's part I am raising.
