John Leguizamo: 本文探讨了共和党利用SAVE法案散布关于移民和非法投票的恐慌,以及他们试图通过压制选民投票来操纵选举的行为。他认为,共和党应该努力赢得选民的支持,而不是通过散布恐惧和仇恨来压制投票。他还谈到了卡马拉·哈里斯在赢得拉丁裔选民支持方面的成功,以及拉丁裔在美国历史上的贡献。他指出,拉丁裔在美国的建设中做出了巨大贡献,但他们的贡献常常被忽视。他还批评了特朗普对移民的痴迷以及他利用移民问题来煽动选民的行为。最后,他还谈到了他即将推出的PBS系列节目《美国历史:拉丁裔的未讲述历史》,该节目将讲述拉丁裔在美国历史上的贡献。 Kat Radley: 本文探讨了共和党利用SAVE法案散布关于移民和非法投票的恐慌,而实际上并没有那么多非法投票。SAVE法案要求登记选民提供公民身份证明,并强制各州将其选民名单中的非公民删除。数据显示,非公民移民几乎从不投票。该法案不成比例地损害了少数族裔和年轻人的利益,因为许多人难以找到或保存出生证明等文件。共和党试图压制选民投票的行为最终会损害他们自己,因为他们试图阻止人们投票的行为最终会影响到他们自己的选民。
