One of the surest ways to be attacked by the progressive left is to raise the issue of illegal migrants voting in American elections. Should you do so, you will be accused of fearmongering, promoting “white nationalism,” and, of course, racism. We are regularly assured that in the incredibly rare cases where such a thing might happen, it’s a simple case of “new arrivals” becoming confused by our complex system of registration and voting. No harm, no foul! A recent analysis conducted by the Oregon Department of Transportation is going to make that defense much harder for people to accept, however. It turns out that in just the past few years, Oregon has registered literally hundreds of Joe Biden’s illegal migrants to vote and at least some of them cast ballots illegally. So how did that happen and what can be done about it? It turns out that the state opened the door to making it quite easy for illegals to register to vote thanks to the DMV and the rules put in place by the state’s Democratic majority.

Oregon officials acknowledged Friday that the state mistakenly registered more than 300 non-citizens as voters since 2021 in what they described as a “data entry issue” that happened when people applied for driver’s licenses.
An initial analysis by the Oregon Department of Transportation, which oversees the state’s Driver and Motor Vehicle Services, revealed that 306 non-citizens were registered to vote, said Kevin Glenn, a department spokesperson. Of those, two voted in elections since 2021.
State and federal laws prohibit non-citizens from voting in national and local elections.
It may seem easy enough to shrug off a few hundred people registering illegally and a few of them voting in a state with a population of more than four million people. But this red flag, along with so many others just like it around the country comes with a very large caveat that frequently goes unmentioned. Those are just the people they caught. How many others simply “fell through the cracks” or were even directed to register by progressive social activists?
This situation in Oregon highlights an even larger problem that we’re running into in many states, though thankfully not all of them. When someone emigrates to the United States legally with the intent to begin their journey along the path to citizenship, they should definitely be able to go to the DMV and apply for a driver’s license. Being able to get around independently will help them obtain legal employment, pay their taxes, and contribute to the community. But the DMV also needs to ensure that they are being properly informed about the process of legally obtaining citizenship and the steps that are required along the way. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
