REGARDING:
“The only logical reason for a person or group to be against purging the voting rolls of non-citizens is because special interests require illegal aliens’ votes in order to pass legislation or elect public officials which otherwise would fail when left to the decision of lawful, hard-working Americans.”

It may not be logical, but there is also the fear that the government would purge legitimate voters to achieve their goals — especially if they decide to purge legitimate voters just before an election and not giving them enough time to prove they are legitimate. Related to that is the irritation at the idea that the government can require us to prove we are who we are with them empowered to decide if our proof is valid. We wouldn’t enjoy the expense in money and time or the simply nuisance value of the thought that a bureaucrat could decide our futures for us.

We know the government’s workers or politicians would never concentrate on suppressing political opponents, but some fear it.

David for quelling fears

REGARDING:
“The neocons wish to govern and control (ride roughshod) all aspects of national and state function as well as individual rights and freedoms as specified in the US Constitution.”

Are you sure you’re talking about neocons? My understanding is that they are primarily interested in national security and leaving everything out of the hands of federal government other than perhaps a basic safety net as envisioned by Reagan and Romney. Of course, they also seem hung up on defense of Israel but that would be because so many of them are Jewish and have kinfolks to worry about.

Why all the fuss over purging illegals from voting? They’ll all be LEGAL by the next election, anyway! Gotta love that immigration “reform.” Go, Marco!!

The federal government should focus on national defense objectives, foreign policy and collecting the revenue to fund it.

The states should govern themselves internally and independently, but in alliance with national defense requirements.

The neocons wish to govern and control (ride roughshod) all aspects of national and state function as well as individual rights and freedoms as specified in the US Constitution.
