The very same Democrats and their ideas that have caused this gigantic financial mess....."let's give the poor and underserved a house they don't have to put anything down on, and don't have to pay their mortgages, yada, yada, yada...." The main arguments for this are to curb voter fraud at the polls. A logical idea. This would stop illegal aliens from voting. Those against it are claiming it's a poll tax on the poor, minorities and elderly and that they can't afford to get a drivers license or passport. They fail to mention that the bill includes a portion to pay for free for the poor who can't afford a photo ID. They also claim that there is no proof of there even being a voter fraud problem. However, without any current way to track it there is no way to know how large the problem is. It certainly exists no matter how much they'd like to deny it. These people want illegal aliens to vote. The also continuously bring up the voter rights act, as if that has anything to do with proving you are who you are and that you're eligible to vote. Democrats call it a Republican ploy to enact a poll tax on the poor.
