It is more concerning that so many want the illegals to vote, although publicly they don't want others to know.

There is no need for a poll to discover that the majority of Americans do not support non-citizens voting.

Earlier this month in Wisconsin, the majority of voters elected a liberal judge while also supporting the voter ID law. It is primarily Republicans who believe that Democrats seek the votes of undocumented immigrants. the polls proves they are wrong.

There is almost zero voter fraud, but it's a sure-fire vote getter. I bet lots of Arkansans voted for Trump on this virtually non-existent problem....
Never realizing that what would really happen is that when thousands of homes were flooded in 12 inch rains, the governor would ask for federal disaster aid...and Trump said "no aid for you."
As they're pumping out and wet vacuuming their homes they will have time to reflect on their bad decisions and not misplace their trust on those who are untrustworthy.

States conduct elections. Trump can symbolically tweet on Truth Social and craft EO's, but given the last 2020 slap down where accusations of illegals voting were slapped down by courts faster than Usain Bolt, the Trump admin should spend this time trying to sweet talk China to the negotiating table.

President Trump is following and enforcing the law. What I do want to understand is how come the Democratic Party doesn't appear to really care about voter fraud even IF it is only a small problem.

The Supreme Court says he is flouting the laws.
Misinterpreting them. "Amending" them to suit his plans. "Inventing" them.
Enforcing a law as written? Has that happened yet?

There seem to be multiple judges, including the SCOTUS, who disagree.

Laws are crafted to correct problematic situations or correct wrongs.
It's already illegal for non US citizens to vote.
BTW, I think it kind of rich to claim the person who literally tried to steal an election is all about enforcing the integrity of elections.

The poll question:

“How important is it to prevent illegal immigrants from voting in U.S. elections?”

....is not what the op implies with the thread title.

How important is it to solve a problem that does not exist?

Then why isn't Tiktok banned?
President Donald Trump issued an executive order delaying the enforcement of the ban for 75 days.
Current Status:
TikTok remains available in the U.S. app stores and is still accessible to users. While the law requires a divestment, the current situation gives ByteDance more time to seek a buyer.
Future:
The future of TikTok in the U.S. is still uncertain. If ByteDance cannot find a suitable buyer, the ban could still be enforced, according to news reports.

He didn't try to steal the election. He used legal and lawful methods between Mid-November 2020 up through the first eek of January 2021. Millions of Americans believed that there were election shenanigans in the November 2020 presidential elections. After the Congress certified the presidential election in 2021, President Trump continued to follow the law and there was a peaceful transition of power.

Please give me a recent and specific example that the SCOTUS has ruled that President Trump is not following the law.

It's probably important to distinguish between federal and state/local elections. I believe in 1996 congress passed a law prohibiting noncitizens from voting in Federal elections. (Enforcement of this law is somewhat vague.) However, state and local elections are all over the board as far as allowing noncitizens to vote. HERE is a good though somewhat dated source.

The most recent two that come to mind are that people must be given due process prior to being deported and that you don't get to deport people when judges have specifically ruled they are not allowed to be deported.

So in other words, he's not enforcing the law. The fact Trump issues an executive order to just say he won't enforce the law does not change the fact he is not enforcing it, contrary to your claim that he is enforcing the laws.

The law allowed for a single 90-day extension period if the President would certify to Congress that significant progress was made towards a sale. The fact that there was not significant progress did not prevent Trump from claiming there was in order to avoid enforcing it... but fine, someone could say the law allows the President to lie about it if they want. However, even if we accept that, those 90 days are already up. Trump is still refusing to enforce it.

So no, he is not enforcing the laws. All that executive order does is him declaring that he's going to refuse to enforce the law.
