what is true is that the constitution assigns each state a decision to decide who is going to vote. tucker: you ve change the principal four times. you said they had to have lived here for a long time, not really. now you are saying, what? if you violate a law? i am comfortable with the idea that anybody who is subject to the laws of the united stateh and resides here in the ordinary sense should have an input into the political process. p tucker: i hope you will raise money for this woman s legal defense, it sounds like by your standards she got railroaded. i will do it for free. tucker: [laughs] no, you won t. don rosenberg knows a lot about his son was killed by an illegal immigrant driver.
he is seeking to use a border initiative in california to reverse a law that gives driver s licenses to illegal aliens. he joins us tonight. thank thanks for having me. you for coming on. tucker: apart from the tragedy of your personal story, let me say every time i read it i feel sad, i was fascinated by the story because the pretext for allowing illegal aliens to have driver s license in california was it will make the roads safer. we now have some data on that, tell us, did it make the roads safer in california? not the least bit. there was pretext the drivershe would be trained, they would have insurance to get a license and hit and runs would decrease. there s nothing in the law that requires them to get trained. there is nothing in the law that forces them to get insurance. all you have to do is show up in a car that s insured and go home and drive your car that isn t. hidden runs in the first two years are up 26.4%,
illegitimate about that. tucker: we can t be sure what was true from the 1860 election because we didn t have the capacity to survey it. we know what the law was, we know illinois allowed noncitizens to vote. tucker: we don t know what percentage of them voted for ollincoln. let s move to the present from the past. let s skip ahead if we could. i m an originalist, i like the past. tucker: why would it be wrong for putin if his intent was pure to influence our election? by the standards that you just playedur out. i don t understand how you could be mad about russian meddling and your encouraging noncitizens to choose officeholders. if putin wanted to leave
manafort got in big trouble, he s looking at a life sentence behind bars in solitary confinement. tony podesta, whatever happened to him? tonight we can report exclusively based on two separate sources we spoke to today that tony podesta has been offered immunity by robert mueller to testify against paul manafort. for a near identical crime, bill and hillary s friend could escape and emerge completely unscathed while paul manafort may rot in jail. only one of them made the mistake of chairing donald trump s presidential campaign.au maybe the mostmi amazing is the pretext under which all of this is happening. the fara law was passed back in 1938 in order to prevent the nazi government from lobbying in the u.s. over a 50 year period from 1966 to 2015, a total of only seven people were criminally charged under fara. many more could have been charged washington is brimming with unregistered
long-term residents of the united states aren t in the same position. you quoted at the top, voting br noncitizens is quite common. it has persisted in the united states until the early part of the 20th century. tucker: before you finish, it s not the samet thing. it s a matter of intent? anyone who meets your definition of being not hostile to the united states as defined by you or other harvard law professors gets to vote. if putin were to say i m not hostile to the united states i like a donald trump, i think he said that on stage on monday that would give him the right to influence our elections by your standard. the traditional test, up until arkansas was the last state to eliminate noncitizen voting in 1926, the traditional test was residency. permanentt residency. when abe lincoln was elected on the backs of lots of noncitizen voters in illinois, i don t think there was something
