Are you deliberately being disingenous or are you truly this weak minded? You (purposefully) mix references to illegals and non-U.S. citizens (permanent residents) as if they are one and the same. They clearly are not.
In many states (18 USC 611: Voting by aliens,
http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/611) permanent residents ARE allowed to vote in state and local elections. They cannot, however, vote in Federal ones. Illegal residents cannot vote in any type of election. To do so is a felony, resulting in jail time, then deportation.
If permanent residents are voting in Federal elections in jurisdictions where they can vote in local ones, the fault lies with the local elections Registrar, who is obviously doing a poor job in distinguishing between the voter types on the rolls, and in educating permanent residents who register to vote as to their rights and restrictions.
Unless the local Registrar (don't lots of Republicans seek out this position?) is corrupt or incompetent, Illegals shouldn't be able to register at all. If many are in fact voting, as Republicans repeatly claim, this would indicate either corruption on the part of local poll workers of both parties, or that many Illegals are going to the polls with purloined identities, usually from dead people (which seems to be the preferred explanation on the Right).
The checks and balances in place at the polls should dampen the former, and the unlikely scenarios in the latter would make it equally improbable as well. Consider: unless an area has a long standing community of, let's arbitrarily say hispanics, there won't be many identities to steal that match the illegal's ethnicity. In a polling place, part of a local community where voters have some knowledge of one another, their neighbors, it would probably raise a few red flags if a twenty-two year old hispanic male with an extremely limited knowledge of English presented himself as "Donald Miller", especially if one of poll workers knew of the deceased (polls are, after all, local). The risk is simply too great for someone not wanting to draw attention.
