These people cannot be trusted to vote in their best interests. Ever. They have failed at the most simple task and have driven this country to ruin. They are too stupid to be allowed to have a say in the future of the country. Convince a non-voter to vote. There are LOTS of those.

Lebowitz says it's not up to congress to decide who is eligible to vote on a nationwide basis It's potentially far-reaching reasoning (I have no idea now likely this is to survive appeal. The main precedent is a Scalia opinion in Arizona v. Inter Tribal Council, 570 US 1 (2013))
The statutory text of Section 611, and especially its “unless” clause, makes it exceedingly difficult to read the statute as anything but a nationwide ban on non-U.S. citizen voting. The “unless” clause, rightly described by amicus as “the most damning textual evidence of Congress’ overambitious intent,” [ECF No. 46 at 37], shows that Congress clearly meant to prohibit an alien from voting in a federal election even when permitted by state law. Look again at the statute: Section 611 explicitly makes it unlawful for an alien to vote in a federal election, except for state-authorized alien voting in a non-federal election. That textual exception makes it clear beyond peradventure that Congress intended to prohibit alien voting in federal elections—even if such voting was expressly authorized by state law. Section 611 makes it a crime for a certain class of people (non-citizens) to vote in any

Suuuuper interesting, I was not tracking this. The judge found the law criminalizing noncitizen voting is a voter qualification statute, and therefore outside of Congress’s power. Surprisingly, this is an issue of first impression! Decision is here: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
The best reading of the actual statute that underpins this criminal case yields an inescapable
conclusion: 18 U.S.C. S 611 is a voter qualification statute, and the Constitution does not authorize
Congress to legislate voter qualifications for federal elections. Except for very specific constitutional
provisions (that cannot support this statute; we will go through them, Congress has no power to say
who can vote or who cannot vote in federal elections-that foundational power is reserved for the States,
and limits Congress.
Some legal principles are so fundamental that they form American constitutional bedrock, and
this case reveals a big one: When you're prosecuted based on a law that Congress did not have the
authority to pass, the prosecution cannot stand. That principle in federal law harkens back to cases
like Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137, 180 (1803), and United States v. Hudson, 11 U.S. 32, 34 (1812), and
has had explicit and unbroken support in criminal cases since Ex Parte Siebold, 100 U.S. 371, 376-77
(1879) ("An unconstitutional law is void, and is as no law. An offence created by it is not a crime. A
conviction under it is not merely erroneous, but is illegal and void, and cannot be a legal cause of
imprisonment."). The principle is so fundamental that it even predates our constitutional republic; it
lies at the very heart of our constitutional heritage. See, e.g., Bayard v. Singleton, 1 N.C. 5, 9-10 (1787) (striking down a legislative act as unconstitutional and holding that a court cannot enforce an
unconstitutional law in any type of proceeding). This principle acts as a shield for every person facing
criminal prosecution in the United States, citizen and non-citizen alike. That shield protects the
Defendant here, and none of the Government's arguments break through it.

The phrase “ethnic cleansing” appears in the first sentence of the Wikipedia definition.
Remigration is a far-right concept referring to the ethnic cleansing'"! via mass deportation of non-white minority populations, especially immigrants and sometimes including native-born citizens, to their place of racial ancestry. [21[3) Originating in Europe, the concept has since spread to the United States and Canada, where it has gained increasing prominence, and is especially popular within the Identitarian movement. 41[5] Some proponents of remigration suggest excluding some persons with non-European background from such a mass deportation, based on a varyingly defined degree of assimilation into European culture. 6]

The term “remigration” is associated with the extreme right and only came into widespread usage in 2023-4. Even Germany’s AfD avoided using the term in 2024 for fear of scaring away voters. Today the US government is celebrating the “victories” it’s racked up in the “ethnic cleansing” column.
