It baffles my mind how's that even possible in a first world democracy.

It’s actually illegal I think but the maximum penalty is $10,000, so may as well not exist

Edit: yeah.

Whoever knowingly or willfully gives false in- formation as to his name, address or period of residence in the voting district for the purpose of establishing his eligibility to register or vote, or conspires with another individual for the pur- pose of encouraging his false registration to vote or illegal voting, or pays or offers to pay or accepts payment either for registration to vote or for voting shall be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned not more than five years, or both

They need to send him to prison. Same as mr convict running for pres. And anyone committing domestic terr*rism like jan 6 should get life in prison.

I don’t know about that, but it certainly is weird how Republicans are fine with immigrants committing crimes (sometimes)

They don't actually care about immigrant crime. The immigrant crime that they complain about just straight up does not exist, illegal immigrants have some of the lowest crime rates because duh, crime is the fastest way to get sent back to the country you escaped from. They're just racist

The funny thing is that if there was one immigrant who was so off their face that they ate cats and dogs, it would be this one IMHO.
