Sounds to me like they are trying to commit a lot of voter fraud by registering illegal aliens.
Illegal-immigrant rights advocates trying to register new Latino voters
http://kvoa.com/Global/story.asp?S=5235834Illegal-immigrant rights advocates are trying to transfer the energy from massive street demonstrations last spring into thousands of new Latino voters by this fall.
Their goal in Maricopa County is to register 22,000 new voters in time for the Nov. 7 election.
A coalition of illegal-immigrant rights groups is launching a voter drive Friday that will send dozens of workers into heavily concentrated Latino neighborhoods to knock on doors and stand outside markets and shopping centers to register new voters.
By flooding polls, advocates aim to push the immigration debate away from the enforcement-heavy approach supported by many key lawmakers in favor of comprehensive immigration reform that offers a special path to citizenship for illegal immigrants and more visas to reunite families.
"We are building electoral power for our community so they can have a say, not only on the streets but at the ballot box," said Ruben Villarreal, an organizer for the Arizona Coalition for Migrant Rights, a Phoenix-based organization working with We Are America Alliance, a national group. "Once we have a strong vote, I think politicians will think twice before they pass all these anti-immigrant bills."
Hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets in Phoenix and cities across the country after the House passed a tough immigration bill in December that would make being in the country illegally a felony.
After the marches, the Senate passed its own immigration package supported by President Bush. It took a broader approach than the House's enforcement-only version and included a shortcut to citizenship for illegal immigrants and a temporary-worker program.
But despite prodding by the president, Congress hasn't reached a compromise, prompting organizers of the street marches to focus on trying to influence the outcome of the November midterm election and the 2008 presidential election.
Organizers believe the untapped power of new immigrant voters and their children could have far-reaching political impact but acknowledge they face significant challenges getting immigrants to the polls and motivating them to naturalize.
A study estimates that by the 2008 presidential election, there will be 14.25 million potential voters among legal immigrants currently eligible to naturalize and U.S.-born children of immigrants ages 16 to 24.
Of those, 303,600 live in Arizona. The coalition said that total would have been more than enough to swing the 2004 presidential election in Arizona, where Bush won by 210,770 votes.
