Homeland Security Allows Florida To View Immigration Info- As Ordered By Judge

Homeland Security lets states view immigration database to aid voter purge
By Liz Goodwin, Yahoo! News National Affairs Reporter | The Ticket
The Department of Homeland Security is opening up its immigration database to several battleground states that want to identify and kick off non-citizens from their voter registration rolls, NPR reported.
Homeland Security initially denied Florida's request to access the database, arguing it would violate voting rights laws, before a federal judge sided with Florida and forced DHS to open the database. Florida, Colorado, Nevada and other battleground states may soon start using the data to purge legal immigrants who have not yet become citizens from the rolls.
Florida notified 2,700 people--60 percent of them Hispanic--that their voter registration would be automatically revoked if they didn't prove their citizenship.
The Florida officials relied on a state database that had out-of-date citizenship information, and most of the people contacted by reporters on the list have proven or stated their citizenship, according to the Miami Herald. Voting rights groups have criticized the purge for happening so close to the election, which gives people removed in error little time to re-register. Some Democrats argue the purges and voter ID laws intentionally discourage minority voters who tend to vote Democratic, but supporters argue that they're a necessary way to prevent voter fraud.
MTW-What is the big deal? All that Florida wants to do, is make sure that the immigrants who do vote are casting a legal ballot. The Democrats never have let go of the Bush/Gore election debacle here. However, we do not want Obama getting votes that do not officially count, and hopefully no votes from people who have died years ago, like one of his Social Security number's real owners, who was deceased in 1890. We all know Homeland Security's job is important, but it would seem that they were ordered by someone in power to prevent this. I wonder who. Why did it take a Judge to get this information? They (Florida) want to give these folks enough notice to get their proof in order. How do you think Ellis Island used to work? We do not need any more Obama. No more Obama! (I wanted to use the Pink Floyd lyrics "we don't need no, Barack Obama", except I do not use contractions when I write.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
