U.S.A. Veterans first, please!
Illegals continue to commit crimes such as voting in the U.S.A..
With the past Presidential election, the count of those in the U.S.A. illegally and voted as U.S.A. citizens can only be described as disturbing.

The Arkansas House completed an override of Senate Bill 2, concerning voter identification, on Monday, April 1, 2013.

The Arkansas House on Monday completed an override of Gov. Mike
Beebe's veto of a bill that will require Arkansas voters to present
photo identification before casting ballots.
The override passed the chamber, 52-45.
The Arkansas Senate completed the first leg of defeating Beebe's veto of Senate Bill 2 on Wednesday, voting 21-12 to override the veto. Each chamber, both Republican-controlled, needed a simple majority vote.
It is the third successful override of a Beebe veto this session by Arkansas lawmakers. The previous two overrides both dealt with abortion-ban legislation.
The Arkansas House delayed the override vote last week, failing to bring up the matter before the House convened Monday.
Beebe vetoed the bill last Monday because it was "an expensive solution in search of a problem" and would infringe on voters' rights. Senate Bill 2, sponsored by Sen. Bryan King, R-Green Forest, will require the state to provide free photo IDs to voters who do not have one. The estimated state cost is $300,000.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Arkansas has said the legislation is unconstitutional and said it would look at its options after a decision from lawmakers. Other opponents of the bill say it is unfair to senior citizens, members of minority groups and the poor.
Poll workers are currently required to ask voters for identification, but voters are still allowed to vote if they do not have an ID.
The bill will take effect Jan. 1, 2014, but only if the state has the money to issue voter ID cards.
