In North Carolina almost 10,000 non-citizens are registered to vote because of an Obama program. The passing of the DACA (Differed Action for Childhood Arrivals program) allows immigrants protected under the DACA to freeze their deportation which in some states--such as North Carolina-- allows these illegal aliens to obtain a drivers licenses. Those illegal immigrants that had drivers licenses also found a way to register to vote. Jay DeLancy, executive director of the Voter Integrity Project of North Carolina stated that there had to be a system failure and that the issue should be fixed before voting commences next Thursday.
I find this to be completely ridiculous. People that are not citizens of the United States should not EVER be on the voter registry; they are not even suppose to be in this country let alone voting on who runs it. Furthermore, I think that the DACA program should not have been passed. Just because someone was smuggled into the States at a fairly young age does not make them a citizen. I understand that is would be extremely hard for them to adjust to deportation, but the United States should be focusing more on legal residents than those who are not. I understand this is a touchy subject, but this is my stance.
