A Live Fox Coast to Coast presenter was left stuttering and gob-smacked after hearing President Obama tell an illegal it is fine to vote and nobody will know, on live TV no less! This leads people to wonder if this was the reason the Democrats opposed Voter ID for the elections 2016. In the video clip, we hear a woman say, "I call (illegals) citizens as they contribute to this country....they are fearful of voting, so if I vote, will Immigration know where I live?" Then she asked, "Will they come for my family and deport us?"
Obama's stunning reply when asked if illegalswill get caught if they vote!
Obama did not shake a hair loose off his head as he replied.
He stunning reply was to say, "This is not true, and the reason is first of all when you vote ....there's not a situation somehow where voting rolls are transferred over and people start investigating.The sanctity of the vote is strictly confidential."
Presenter totally flummoxed
Cut off at that point and focus the camera on thepresentergroping for words as he shook his head, took a deep breath and said - "I can't believe that I heard what I heard!" The president was questioned as to whether the illegals could vote. "It was very clear that the question that was being asked was about illegals voting and afraid they might be reported to Border Security," he said. "You're illegal," he said. "You cannot vote." Well - why could Obama have not said that too?
It's only a few words after all!
"The President of the United States is saying no-one will be spying on you, catching you." He went on to say, "You're ignoring the fact that you are being questioned about illegal voting, which you can't do. Why? - Because you're not a citizen of this country!"
Angry Twitter reactions
Twitter reaction was angry, with one person suggesting he should have stopped the interview until ICE got there.
Another user, Geoff Dunbar posted "and to think this is the opinion of the person who holds the highest office in the land! Unbelievable." Then another user - Sizemore pointed out that "Obama is giving illegals very bad advice, if they get caught they're going straight to jail."
Did the President misunderstand the very clear questions - or was he really saying that "if you (illegals) vote for us we will make sure you're not deported?" Other people suggest that the whole interview needs to be watched and not taken out of context - indicating the short clip was cut out by Fox to emphasize just one point.
Here are what other people had to say about it.
