Why the rush to allow more illegals in? Is it a ploy to steal the election?

No. Illegal aliens can't vote.

Have you noticed that everything is an emergency? And that if they want something they use a government shutdown as a tactic? Topics like HCR, Min Wage. Immigration? Plus long range benefits like voter pools? This group is evil.

I have not seen a rush to allow but I think the reason some do not want to stem the tide is for more votes for certain people or parties.

In the past that would be possible, now with voter restrictions and monitoring it's unrealistic. I don't think it has anything to do with it.

Unfortunately I expect that the push to allow more illegals immigrants to be able to vote is that it would interfere with those states that already require government ID with a recent individual picture to vote SSgt Alex Robinson.
Here in Northern Va where ID is required we had a couple instances last election where somebody tried to vote who was not authorized. After they were stopped from voting they were given an opportunity to return with proper ID they failed to show up before the polls closed.
Those states that don't require picture ID probably have illegal immigrants casting votes already.

"The officials said they had started the campaign this week because Thursday is Citizenship Day. But the White House is also aware of federal figures showing that about 60 percent of immigrants eligible to naturalize are Latino and about 20 percent are Asian, both groups that voted overwhelmingly for President Obama. Nearly a third of legal permanent residents eligible to naturalize are Mexican" this paragraph alone is enough to get all of the conspiracy theories going full steam ahead. Thing is even I would question it based off the timing alone.

Did anyone read the article?

"For now, White House officials have turned to the citizenship drive, which offers nothing for immigrants without legal status. To be eligible for naturalization, immigrants must have been legal permanent residents for at least three years and in most cases five years. The officials insisted the effort was nonpartisan."

Note the words "legal permanent residents"
