To protect a core constituency

To protect a core constituency

Democrats treat illegal voters as a core constituency. Draw your own inferences.

Given the millions of illegal aliens welcomed by Biden and Harris, the administration is looking for something in return. The administration wants their vote. After all the administration has given them, it’s only fair.

Thus the Biden Department of Justice absurd suit to prevent Virginia from extracting illegal aliens from its voter rolls. Andrew McCarthy analyzes the administration’s lawsuit in the column “Biden-Harris DOJ Goes to Bat for Illegal Aliens against Virginians” (behind NRO’s paywall).

It doesn’t talk him long to explain why the lawsuit lacks any legal merit. Rather, he deems it to be shameful. Unfortunately, the Biden Department of Justice has no sense of shame.

Here is his introduction:

Understand: The Biden-Harris administration, led as ever by U.S. history’s most politicized Justice Department, is now doing the very thing it has indicted Donald Trump for doing — and for which it would have him imprisoned for up to ten years. That is, it is conspiring to injure the people of a state, Virginia in this instance, in the enjoyment of their right to vote. That’s a felony violation of the civil-rights laws (§241), at least according to the indictment Biden-Harris DOJ special counsel Jack Smith has brought against Vice President Harris’s opponent (formerly President Biden’s opponent) in the 2024 election.

The administration is trying to influence that election by promoting voting by some of the more than 10 million illegal aliens it has ushered into the country. That is the upshot of the DOJ’s lawsuit against Virginia. Perversely, the administration will claim it is protecting American citizens from being denied their voting rights — inadvertently or otherwise. That is preposterous.

Here is his conclusion:

There is only one rational explanation for this ill-conceived exercise of prosecutorial discretion against the United States citizens of Virginia and on behalf of illegal aliens: The Biden-Harris administration is trying to influence the outcome of the election by enabling illegal aliens to vote. The expectation that illegal aliens will vote for Democrats and transform closely divided states into Democratic strongholds also helps explain why Biden and Harris dismantled American border security.

Duly noted.
