I probably arrested more than 1,000 illegal aliens in my career and I routinely encountered people who were in possession of voter registration cards. And as a part of my interview of them when they were arrested, I would ask them, &#8220;Do you or have you voted?&#8217; and often, I would get the answer &#8216;yes,'&#8221; he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Arnold agreed with O&#8217;Reilly&#8217;s\u00a0statement that &#8220;it&#8217;s easy to do it and it&#8217;s being done.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Arnold said that there is a very high demand for counterfeit documents like a drivers license because a large swath of the illegal population want to work.<\/p>\n<p>He said there are often several illicit document vendors in neighborhoods with high illegal immigrant populations.<\/p>\n<p>Because some states only require a drivers license number to be recorded to register to vote, or apply for an absentee ballot, the illegal registrations &#8220;are not necessarily picked up,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the full interview above.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/insider.foxnews.com\/2016\/11\/30\/ice-agent-counterfeit-drivers-licenses-illegal-immigration-voters-registration-elections\">http:\/\/insider.foxnews.com\/2016\/11\/30\/ice-agent-counterfeit-drivers-licenses-illegal-immigration-voters-registration-elections<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-58517","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58517","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=58517"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58517\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=58517"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=58517"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=58517"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
