LOL...I DID go by what you said...you were shrugging off illegal aliens voting!  Do you also agree that convicted felons, once their sentence is complete and they are off parole ie: have COMPLETELY paid their debt to society, should then retain their 2nd Amendment RIGHTS, if they're going to be given their voting franchise?  I mean, it's a "Right", right? And "shall not be infringed."  
AS to the Illegal alien living in Texas, she's either ignorant, or pulling someone's leg.  Although I once worked a case involving a woman writing checks all over town, who thought that the bank wouldn't have "sent me that whole box of checks if I didn't have enough money in the bank!"  Ignorance reigns and everyone gets wet!  And yes, it's a misdemeanor...although I'm pretty sure as misdemeanor is STILL a crime!  And that's only for the FIRST offense...after that, it's felony time!!!!! I just can't figure how some people don't get that "illegal aliens" are criminals!
