The only concrete you have will probably be MAGA's grave marker in November.
Former President Barack Obama did not encourage illegal immigrants or noncitizens to vote in the 2016 election.The claim stems from an edited and misrepresented snippet of a 2016 interview with actress Gina Rodriguez for the Latino media company mitú.The Context of the 2016 InterviewDuring the interview, Rodriguez asked Obama about the fears of legal citizens who have undocumented family members. She noted that many "millennials, Dreamers, [and] undocumented citizens" were afraid to vote out of fear that immigration authorities would use voter rolls to track down their families.What Obama Actually Said: Obama reassured the public that voter rolls are strictly confidential and are not shared with immigration enforcement. He explicitly clarified that "when you vote, you are a citizen yourself" and emphasized that legal citizens with undocumented family members have an even bigger reason to vote to protect their loved ones.How It Was Manipulated: Internet users shortened the clip to clip out his specific references to citizens. The edited version falsely implies he told Rodriguez that noncitizens could vote without facing legal penalties.Voting Laws and RequirementsFederal Law: Under the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, it is completely illegal for noncitizens to vote in U.S. presidential and congressional elections.Penalties: Attempting to vote as a noncitizen can result in fines, imprisonment, and deportation.Voter Verification: State election offices verify voter eligibility against government databases, making illegal voting by noncitizens an exceptionally rare occurrence.AI can make mistakes, so double-check responses
