That may help explain the unusually heavy penalty imposed on Rosa Maria Ortega, 37, a permanent resident and a mother of four who lives outside Dallas. On Thursday, a Fort Worth judge sentenced her to eight years in prison — and almost certainly, deportation later — after she voted illegally in elections in 2012 and 2014.
Ms. Ortega, a native of Monterrey, Mexico, came to Texas with her mother when she was an infant. More than a decade later, the family was scattered after the mother was arrested and deported. Two brothers born in Dallas automatically gained citizenship; Ms. Ortega became a permanent resident and gained a green card, her brother Tony Ortega, 35, said in an interview.

She said that becoming registered to vote in Dallas was extremely easy, she just checked the box saying that she was a citizen, and nobody bothered to verify it.
She also claimed she didn't know she wasn't a citizen, but her mom getting deported should have been a clue.

she voted twice
And not even citizens are allowed to do that much less alien non citizens
And there was this one recently too:
URBANA — A Mexican national who has lived in Urbana since 2005, allegedly using a stolen identity, was arraigned Thursday on seven federal counts, including four related to voting by an illegal immigrant.Urbana man charged with living, voting in U.S. illegally | News-Gazette.com
Miguel Valencia-Sandoval, 33, who allegedly had been using the identity of a Texas man named Ramiro G. Vasquez, pleaded not guilty to the charges before Magistrate Eric Long at U.S. District Court in Urbana.
In my previous job before I went back into business for myself, I was handling work comp claims and that frequently--and I do mean frequently--put me in contact with Mexican, Central American, and South American nationals--New Mexico being a sanctuary state. And it was far more common than not that they were using several different names, claiming several different addresses, and were using multiple social security numbers as we checked medical information.
If such people were registering to vote--no proof of citizenship is required to register--it would be so easy for them to vote multiple times.
Sounds like a waste of taxpayer dollars.
Just deport her.

Oh Jeez...here we go.
Trump will be touting this as proof that everyone in America really did vote for him.
It would do any good to deport her today
until the wall is built she would just come right back into the country
It would be cheaper to just deport her.

No wonder Democrats felt confident they could flip Texas! With illegal immigrants voting not just once but twice!
There is, however, at least one flaw in that story: Ms. Ortega was a registered Republican.
“She voted for Mitt Romney over Barack Obama in the 2012 election. In 2014 she voted for our current attorney general, Ken Paxton,” Mr. Birdsall said. “And guess what? He’s the one responsible for prosecuting her.”

She has been deported before but just came back through the open border
The wall would keep her out forever
Yes. Because nobody in history has ever been able to figure out how to scale a wall.
So, we've caught one of these fraudulent voters. 2,999,999 to go.

Dead people have been voting in Illinois Dem districts for decades, why not illegals, too?
Yes. Because nobody in history has ever been able to figure out how to scale a wall.
Oh what a crock of BS.
