And yet a number of these blue states, a whole lot of them, are refusing even to talk to federal authorities, even to share with them what, if anything, that they're doing to make sure that non-citizens are not voting in U.S. elections.

Despite polls showing that a significant number of Democrats favor deporting illegal immigrants and disagree with transgender athletes competing in women's sports, their representatives in Congress are voting against these views, leaving many constituents feeling betrayed.
