To check against the database, states will have to provide a "unique identifier," such as an "alien number," for each person in question. Alien numbers generally are assigned to foreigners living in the country legally, often with visas or other permits such as green cards.
The database isn't likely to catch undocumented Democrats who may have managed to get on the voter rolls, since those individuals likely wouldn't have an alien number.

Without photo ID necessary, ballots not in English only and intimidation at the polls this concerns me.
I'm still angry over illegals being able to get a US drivers license, as I'm sure many have registered to vote going this route. When I went to Europe, I got an International drivers license that was acceptable.
It angers me that people will vote to keep getting their benefits, and not vote for the best future of America.

But when one lives there, the international driver's licence is only good for one year, by the end of which time one must get a local licence...registered as a foreign resident.
It's right to ensure that foreigners prove they know the local rules of the road and have the requisite skills to use them without being a danger to themself and others. Perhaps we need to add an extra box next to M/F, corrected vision, and organ donar about citizenship.

BS is right, not week ago the feds were fighting this.

IIRC if you are not on a tourist visa, you have to provide an address where you can be located or have claims of residence/household.

When I saw the headline the first thing that went through my mind was that the feds must be gaming the system so that access to the database is now meaningless.

It almost reads like they want to keep Vietnamese immigrants from voting but noone else.

TW, thanks you, that's why I love this site as I'm always learning, it's appreciated. Although I do feel rather exposed showing my ignorance about the license.
I do like the extra citizenship box ;)

Jan dear, you know a great many things I can't even guess at, and you share your knowledge generously. I'm happy to put my own little mite into the general pot in return.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
