OPINION:
The recent apprehension of foreign invaders who are in the United States illegally and have been granted commercial driver’s licenses (“Border Patrol nabs 36 migrants driving semitrucks in Arizona,” Web, June 1) raises another serious question.
The National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (also known as the Motor-Voter Act) requires that anyone granted a driver’s license (individual or commercial) also be given the opportunity to register to vote. Does this mean that those foreigners here illegally — many of whom cannot speak or read English — have also been registered to vote?
Is anyone checking into whether this has happened?
What’s more, the Motor-Voter Act was an unconstitutional usurpation of state authority by Congress. For these reasons, it should be repealed in its entirety.
