re: #170 Anymouse 🌹

Well, the border wall Trump proposes isn’t really about voting. It’s about Mexicans allegedly taking jobs in fruit orchards or farm work that Americans would be lining up around the block for. Or racism, take your pick.

Allegedly in states that are implementing voter ID laws, a driver’s license will do. On the other hand, states like Alabama then eliminate the driver’s license offices in places they don’t want people to vote (read minorities).

A driver’s license (btw Anymouse, I fully expected you to refer to it as a “driving licence” as it is the UK variant) is at best proof of residence but not citizenship. That is the issue at stake here. And the issue with a registered address will be rejected by both Right and Left, but here in Germany it means that you have to show your registered address to sign a lease, an employment contract, open a bank account, register a car or enroll your children in school.

That would make it a lot more difficult for illegals to establish themselves here once they get over the Wall and make the latter all but unnecessary.
