California Won’t Register ‘Illegal’ Voters
Q: Is California planning to “automatically register illegal immigrants to vote”?
A: No. The headline making that claim is false and misrepresents the law in California.
FULL ANSWER
It’s true that California has taken considerable steps to protect immigrants living in the U.S. illegally, a position that has continued to put the so-called “sanctuary state” at odds with the Trump administration. In fact, the tension between the state and federal government over immigration policies escalated this week when the Department of Justice sued California over state laws that it said were hampering federal immigration enforcement.
