Sure, right now the democrat policy is letting migrants in so that they vote for democrats. As a Hungarian I see my own country going down economically because Hungarians outside my country got voting rights and benefits because of Orban without reqirements for taxation, and now we are stuck with a dictator. Of course US has a much more stable system, but the leftist strategy there seems to me like a parallel to what Orban was doing on the right.

The reality is both parties are currently tough on illegal immigration. But one party is overtly nationalist about it.

    They won't be on the voter rolls. If they vote with a provisional ballot, then once again their registration will be checked before their ballot is counted.

    It’s called a “provisional ballot” and the exact process varies by state
