Obama program puts noncitizens on voter rolls

Obama program puts noncitizens on voter rolls « Watchdog.org:
"With early voting starting Thursday, North Carolina’s election board found 154 ineligible voters on its poll lists — and officials are examining thousands more questionable registrations. 
 The illegal immigrants landed on the state’s voter rolls, courtesy of the Obama administration’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. 
 The State Board of Elections said late Tuesday that more than 9,000 additional voters’ names are being checked for legal status. 
They do not expect to finish checking before early voting starts Thursday.
 “We don’t know what we don’t know,” special counsel Brian LiVecchi told Watchdog.org.
Nearly 10,000 names on the rolls are tagged by the state Department of Motor Vehicles as “legally present,” but the Winston-Salem Journal reported that doesn’t mean all 10,000 are ineligible to vote.
When immigrants are certified under DACA deportation proceedings are frozen."
