Seen Big Foot lately? Then you've probably seen an undocumented worker using a fake ID to vote
You've seen them lined up around the block, the hordes of Mexican illegals waiting to get into the polls so they can vote twice.

They've sneaked across the border — not for roofing jobs, or to send money back home to their relatives. No, they've come here for EZ voting — that is, to vote for everybody whose name ends in EZ: Hernandez, Rodriguez, Martinez.

Texas Republicans know of this voter fraud problem. It's right up there in frequency with leprechaun sightings.

Then there's the old folks on fixed incomes. You know how those people are. They vote for Democrats, too. So the Republicans in the Texas Senate have passed a resolution that would allow a bill to be brought up that would require a photo ID to vote in Texas.

Hey, it's a jobs program. The Republican senators know that if they can keep enough Democrats from voting, they can keep their jobs.

1. I didn't know Bigfoot was undocumented.

2. I never cease to be amazed that people fall for this argument.
The undocumented workers don't have enough to worry about. No, they willingly put themselves in a position where they will almost certainly be found out and sent back.

Of all the arguments I've heard in support of anything in politics this one has got to take the cake.
